Human Evolution
Australo-pithecus
PRECURSORThis ape was the firsttrue hominin but is extinct today.
Homohabilis
THE GREAT LEAPIts brain was much greater,and there were substantialanatomical changes.
Homo sapiens, the name that scientifically designates our species is the result of a long evolutionary process that began in Africa during Pilocene Epoch. Very few fossils have been found, and there are no clear clues about what caused the amazing development of the culture. Some believe that a changein the brain or vocal apparatus permitted the emergence of a complex language. Other theories hypothesize that a change in the architecture of the human mind allowed Homo sapiens to use imagination. What is certain is that hunting and gathering was a way of life for 10,000 years until people formed settlements after Ice Age and cities began to emerge.
