archaeology of human evolution

The archaeology of human evolution studies ancient human ancestors by examining physical remains, tools, and environments preserved in the archaeological record. It helps us understand how humans evolved in terms of biology, behavior, and culture over millions of years. By analyzing fossils, stone tools, and other artifacts, researchers reconstruct how early humans lived, migrated, and adapted to their surroundings. This interdisciplinary field combines archaeology, anthropology, and geology to piece together our evolutionary history, revealing insights into the origins of human diversity and the development of technologies and social structures that shape us today.
