Human evolution is about the origin of human beings. All humans belong to the same species, which has spread from its birthplace in Africa to almost all parts of the world. Its origin in Africa is proved by the fossils which have been found there.[1][2][3]
The term 'human' in this context means the genusHomo. However, studies of human evolution usually include other hominids, such as the Australopithecines, from which the genus Homo had diverged (split) by about 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago in Africa.[4][5] The first Homo sapiens, the ancestors of today's humans, evolved around 200,000 years ago.[6]
It was known for centuries that man and the apes were related. At heart, their anatomy is similar, despite many superficial differences. This was the reason why Buffon and Linnaeus, in the 18th century, put them together in one family. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution says that such basic structural similarity comes from the common origin of the group. The apes and man are close relatives, and are primates: the order of mammals which includes monkeys, apes, lemurs and tarsiers.
The process of development provided human beings with several unique abilities. Only they have the capacity to use figures, to imagine, to smile, to inquire about mysteries of life and death. Such capabilities are not found among other mammals. Anthropologists have been inquiring how these abilities evolved in individuals. The large cranial capacity of humans developed slowly over a span of fifteen to twenty thousand years. Approximately, the use of voice developed faster, but it was determined by the extension of the dimension of the brain.
Culture, yet another unique characteristic of human beings, appears from the intelligence of humans to conceptualize and to abstract through the use of figures. It developed slowly, with the process of the natural evolution of humans. But in the extent of the past 20 thousand years, not the natural but the aesthetic evolution of humankind has come to control the method of social changes. The use of literature made more Complex demonstrations of culture feasible and procured standardized forms. But culture breathed even before the person accomplished the ability to use language.
