Human Evolution
Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated from apelike ancestors. This development, spanning over six million years, involved significant biological and behavioral adaptations, such as bipedalism, increased brain size, and complex language use. Key stages include the emergence of Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Neanderthals. Evolution is traced through fossil records, genetic studies, and archaeological findings, revealing the shared ancestry of all humans with other primates.
