Ancient hominins

Ancient hominins are early human-like species that evolved in Africa and other parts of the world over millions of years. They include ancestors and relatives such as Australopithecines, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus. These groups exhibit a range of traits from upright walking to increased brain size, gradually leading to modern humans. Their discovery helps us understand human evolution, migration, and adaptations, showing how our ancestors adapted to different environments and laid the groundwork for the development of contemporary humans.
