Lucy• Australopithecines lived in Africa 1.5 to
4 million years ago.
• Lucy – the most complete
Australopithecine skeleton found.

Early evidence – mainly fossils & anatomical comparison

More recent fossil & DNA evidence

While the genetic difference between individual humans today is minuscule – about 0.1%, on average – study of the same aspects of the chimpanzee genome indicates a difference of about 1.2%. The bonobo (Pan paniscus), which is the close cousin of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), differs from humans to the same degree. The DNA difference with gorillas, another of the African apes, is about 1.6%. Most importantly, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans all show this same amount of difference from gorillas. A difference of 3.1% distinguishes us and the African apes from the Asian great ape, the orangutan. How do the monkeys stack up? All of the great apes and humans differ from rhesus monkeys, for example, by about 7% in their DNA.

DNA shows that our species and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. The last common ancestor of monkeys
and apes lived about 25 million years ago.

• the development of stone tools over time• how these can be dated from their environment
