Ancient human populations

Ancient human populations refer to groups of people who lived thousands to hundreds of thousands of years ago. They include early species like Homo habilis and Homo erectus, as well as modern humans (Homo sapiens). These groups gradually evolved, developed tools, and adapted to their environments. They migrated out of Africa, spreading across continents and giving rise to diverse cultures and physical features. Studying ancient populations helps us understand our origins, how humans adapted over time, and the social and environmental factors that shaped our history.
