Origins of Humankind (fossil sites)

Fossil sites are locations where human ancestors' bones and tools have been preserved over thousands or millions of years. These sites, found across Africa, Asia, and Europe, provide crucial clues about our evolutionary history. Key places include the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, where early hominins like Australopithecus were discovered, and Dmanisi in Georgia, home to some of the earliest Homo erectus fossils. By studying these fossils and artifacts, scientists trace how humans evolved from earlier species, understanding our physical development and movement across the globe over millions of years.
