- 550,000 to 750,000 Years Ago: The Beginning of the Homo sapiens Lineage. Genes, rather than fossils, can help us chart the migrations, movements and evolution of our own species—and those we descended from or interbred with over the ages.
- 300,000 Years Ago: Fossils Found of Oldest Homo sapiens. As the physical remains of actual ancient people, fossils tell us most about what they were like in life.
- 300,000 Years Ago: Artifacts Show a Revolution in Tools. Our ancestors used stone tools as long as 3.3 million years ago and by 1.75 million years ago they’d adopted the Acheulean culture, a suite of chunky handaxes and other cutting implements that remained in vogue for nearly 1.5 million years.
- 100,000 to 210,000 Years Ago: Fossils Show Homo sapiens Lived Outside of Africa. Many genetic analyses tracing our roots back to Africa make it clear that Homo sapiens originated on that continent.
Jan 3, 2024 · Learn how humans evolved from apelike ancestors over six million years, and how scientists study the fossil and archeological evidence of this process. Explore the main features, species, and stages of human evolution, and the challenges and controversies of the field.
Humans are a species of hominid, and chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans are their closest living relatives. Humans are mammals. They are also social animals. They usually live in groups. They help and protect each other. They care for their children. Humans are bipedal, which means they walk on two legs.
