Humans, or Homo sapiens, are a species of upright-walking beings known for their cultural diversity, inhabiting the Earth’s surface. Believed to have originated in Africa around 315,000 years ago, human evolution is a complex process involving the development of traits such as bipedalism and language, along with interbreeding with other hominin species.

This evolution of humans is not a linear progression but rather a complex web of interactions and adaptations. Scientists study bones, stone tools, genes, and environmental conditions to understand how Homo sapiens emerged from earlier hominin ancestors and relatives, shedding light on our evolutionary journey. In this article, we will study the evolution of humans, characteristics, and stages of evolution.
