Question

answer the following write evolution history of modern man?

Answer 1

Human evolution is the evolutionaryprocess that led to the emergence ofanatomically modern humans, beginning with the evolutionary historyof primates – in particular genus Homo– and leading to the emergence ofHomo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family, the great apes. This process involved the gradual development of traits such as human bipedalism and language.[1]

The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, includingphysical anthropology, primatology,archaeology, paleontology,neurobiology, ethology, linguistics,evolutionary psychology, embryologyand genetics.[2] Genetic studies show that primates diverged from othermammals about 85 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous period, and the earliest fossils appear in the Paleocene, around 55 million years ago.[3]

Within the Hominoidea (apes) superfamily, the Hominidae familydiverged from the Hylobatidae (gibbon) family some 15–20 million years ago; African great apes (subfamilyHomininae) diverged from orangutans(Ponginae) about 14 million years ago; the Hominini tribe (humans,Australopithecines and other extinct biped genera, and chimpanzee) parted from the Gorillini tribe (gorillas) between 8-9 million years ago; and, in turn, the subtribes Hominina (humans and biped ancestors) and Panina (chimps) separated 4-7.5 million years ago.[
