What is the evolutionary history of people?
The evolutionary history of humanity begins at least 6-7 million years ago by fossil apes sahelanthropus Tchadensis , which depicts human and apes. Sahelanthropus can be a common predecessor of chimpanzees, gorillas and/or people, early ancestor, early ancestor of chimpanzees, an early ancestor or a completely different line than in all of the above. In any case, this has shifted the likely date of chimpanzees/human divergence for several million years, which was supposed to be 3-5 million years ago based on early molecular studies. Such late divergence is no longer accepted between the anthropological community.
shortly after 6-7 million years, or at any time the evolutionary history of human ancestors divided from chimpanzees, the fossil record continues with orrorin tugenensis (6,1-5,8 mya), the oldest human predecessor with biped localization; ardipithecus (5.5-4.4 mya), another upright species passing into the other had the brain and body similar to the body of chimpanzee; Famous Australopithecus (4-2 mya), "gracile Australopithecin" represented by the fossil "Lucy;" Kenyanthropus (3-2.7 mya), one of the first known apes in the evolutionary history of face; and paranthropus (3-1.2 mya), "robust Australopithecin", with a robust set and brain size are close to 40% of modern people.
About 2.2 million years ago, the family has appeared in evolutionary history and coexisted with Paranthropus and other human apes that lived at that time. This genus was a huge intellectual improvement in what came before him, and one of his earliest members, homo habilis , has a name that means a "handy man". This is because it was one of the first animal species to control the technology of tools with a stone tool, although there is evidence that the Australopithecus Garhi , a darkened 2.6 million years was probably also a qualified user tool. Know thatMenalo's beginning of the Stone Age, which continued for millions of years until the Bronze Age began 5 300 years ago.
The most important species in the evolutionary history of people is our immediate relatives: members of the family homo . The word "homo" simply means "man" in Latin, and these beings were really close to humans, with large brains, upright posture, social nature and ability to use tools. Unfortunately, they are all disappeared now, so we will never know what they were really capable of or how they communicated. These important human relatives include homo habilis , homo rudolfensis , homo ergaster , homo georgicus , homo homo homo homo homo homo cepransisis Cepransissis homo cepransissis homo cepransissis homo heidelbergensis , homo rhodesiensis , homo neanderthalis , homo sapiens iDalt toTerý has left some of these species, studied and relieves an important insight into their relationship to today's humanity.
