 All about Evolution

When did our evolution start?

Our evolution started nearly 7 million years ago, when the human genealogy separated from the chimpanzees and monkeys. 

What happened to those humankind?

As time progressed, there were more than 20 known species of humans. But most of them became extinct. But who survived, might have been the ancestors of modern humans. 

Who are the ancestors of humans?

The ancestors were divided into 3 groups:

Early hominins

Australopithecines

Homo genus

The early hominins were believed to exist between 7-4.4 million years ago, in the African continent.

The next stage of evolution was the  Australopithecines, who lived between 4.4-1.4 million years ago, all across Africa.

The last phase of evolution was the Homo Genus. This species believed to come across 2.4-1.4 million years ago. This species could have evolved into the humans we are now. They also were the 1st ones to utilize fire and also the 1st ones to migrate.

Have humans and apes stopped evolving?

No! Humans are still evolving. But no by technology instead of biology. Even other animals, like the apes keep evolving to accustom to the changes humans have made around them
