Human Evolution
Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. It involves a series of biological and cultural developments over millions of years, characterized by the emergence of the genus Homo, particularly Homo sapiens. Key milestones include bipedalism, the development of larger brains, and the use of tools. Fossil evidence, genetic studies, and archaeological findings contribute to our understanding of this complex history. Human evolution is a central topic in anthropology, biology, and paleontology, illustrating the adaptive nature of humans in response to environmental changes.
