fossil hominids

Fossil hominids are preserved remains or traces of early human relatives and ancestors. These fossils include bones, teeth, and footprints that provide insights into how early humans and their relatives lived, evolved, and differed from other primates. Studying fossil hominids helps scientists understand human origins, evolutionary changes, and the development of traits like upright walking and larger brains. By comparing fossils from different periods, researchers reconstruct the timeline of human evolution and identify connections among ancient species. These discoveries are essential for understanding the biological and cultural history of humanity.
