Human Evolution

Human evolution is the biological process through which modern humans, Homo sapiens, developed over millions of years from ancestral primates. It involves a series of natural changes in physical and genetic traits that enabled our ancestors to adapt to their environments. Key milestones include the development of bipedalism (walking on two legs), larger brains, and the use of tools. Fossils and DNA evidence trace these changes, illustrating how early humans spread across the globe, interacting with other hominins, leading to the complex societies we see today. Understanding this journey highlights our connection to the natural world and each other.
