Hominin evolution

Hominin evolution refers to the gradual development of humans and our ancestors from primate ancestors millions of years ago. It involves a series of species that show incremental changes in traits like walking upright, brain size, and tool use. Key milestones include Australopithecus, an early upright walker, and Homo habilis, known for using tools. Over time, Homo sapiens emerged as the only surviving species, distinguished by advanced cognitive abilities and social structures. This process reflects adaptability to environments and changing lifestyles, demonstrating how we evolved as a species amid various challenges over millions of years.
