Answer 1

Human Evolution :

Humans have significantly evolved over the ages

Rise of australopithecins marked the beginning of human evolution. Australopithecins are believed to be the connecting link between apes $\sf and$ early humans

• Apes and early humans like Homo habilis to some extent exhibited quadrapediality. As hunting and gathering activites increased,so did walking on two legs (Bipediality)

• Early humans had smaller limbs while in subsequent species of humans,bone weight and mass increased

• Early humans had smaller brains while our nearest ancestors Neanderthals had bigger brains,thus,we are unsure of beneficial size of brain

• Devising new methods of communications, enginnering tools for hunting down animals for food & cloth throw light over the psychological advances made by humans.

• Degeneration of tail bone

• Earlier, humans were herbivorous which explains the occurrence of appendix whose function is to digest cellulose. Rather now appendix is just a vestigial organ.
