Palaeoanthropology

Palaeoanthropology is the study of ancient humans and their relatives, using fossils and other evidence to understand our evolutionary history. It combines fields like archaeology, anthropology, and geology to uncover how early humans lived, evolved, and interacted with their environments over millions of years. By examining ancient bones, footprints, and tools, palaeoanthropologists piece together the story of human origins, migration, and development. This science helps us understand what makes us human today and how we are connected to other early species in our evolutionary family tree.
