Hominid fossils

Hominid fossils are remains of early human ancestors and relatives, including bones, teeth, and footprints. They provide crucial evidence about human evolution, showing physical and behavioral changes over millions of years. These fossils help scientists understand how our species developed features like walking upright, using tools, and social behavior. By studying hominid fossils, researchers can trace the lineage of modern humans and better understand our place in the natural world. Key discoveries include famous specimens like "Lucy," which illustrate important stages in our evolutionary history.
