Answer:

For a number of reasons, we share nearly 99 percent of our genetic sequence with chimpanzees and bonobos, which strongly suggests we share a common ancestor. And there are thousands of fossils documenting progressively more human-like species in the evolution of our lineage after it split from the other great apes and later from chimps and bonobos.

Biologists have actually observed evolution happening in other species, both in the field and in the lab—the recent emergence of antibiotic-resistant microbes is a form of evolution. And animal breeders make evolution happen all the time—think of the tremendous variety of dog breeds that have been created from wolves.

Explanation:

The study of human evolution encompasses many scientific disciplines, most notably physical anthropology, linguistics and genetics.

The term "human," in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other hominins, such as the australopithecines.

Paleoanthropology is the study of ancient humans based on fossil evidence, tools, and other signs of human habitation.

The modern field of paleoanthropology began in the 19th century with the discovery of "Neanderthal man."

The eponymous skeleton was found in 1856, but there had been finds elsewhere since 1830.

Homo genus In modern taxonomy, Homo sapiens is the only extant species of its genus, Homo.

Likewise, the ongoing study of the origins of Homo sapiens often demonstrates that there were other Homo species, all of which are now extinct.

While some of these other species might have been ancestors of H. sapiens, many were likely our 'cousins', having speciated away from our ancestral line.

There is not yet a consensus as to which of these groups should count as separate species and which as subspecies of another species.

In some cases this is due to the paucity of fossils, in other cases it is due to the slight differences used to classify species in the Homo genus.

Evidence of Evolution:-

Scientists have discovered a wealth of evidence concerning human evolution, and this evidence comes in many forms. Thousands of human fossils enable researchers and students to study the changes that occurred in brain and body size, locomotion, diet, and other aspects regarding the way of life of early human species over the past 6 million years. Millions of stone tools, figurines and paintings, footprints, and other traces of human behavior in the prehistoric record tell about where and how early humans lived and when certain technological innovations were invented. Study of human genetics show how closely related we are to other primates – in fact, how connected we are with all other organisms – and can indicate the prehistoric migrations of our species, Homo sapiens, all over the world. Advances in the dating of fossils and artifacts help determine the age of those remains, which contributes to the big picture of when different milestones in becoming human evolved.
