Anthropoid Fossils

Anthropoid fossils are remains of primates that are part of the group called "anthropoids," which includes humans, monkeys, and apes. These fossils, often bones or teeth preserved in rocks, help scientists study how these species evolved over millions of years. By examining their physical features, scientists can understand changes in brain size, limb structure, and other characteristics that reveal their behavior and adaptation. These fossils are crucial for tracing the lineage of humans and understanding our evolutionary history, giving us insight into how early primates lived and developed into modern species.
