Human Evolution Sites

Human evolution sites are locations around the world where important fossil discoveries have been made that inform our understanding of human ancestry. These sites, such as Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania or the Great Rift Valley, provide evidence of early human species and their development over millions of years. Researchers analyze bones, tools, and artifacts found at these locations to piece together how early humans lived, migrated, and evolved. Each discovery contributes to the broader picture of how modern humans, Homo sapiens, emerged and adapted to their environments over time.
