In Eurasia H. erectus evolved into species such as H. antecessor, H. heidelbergensis and H. neanderthalensis. Similarly, the human lineage has a higher rate than the chimpanzee lineage. Gruyter, 59-116. 476488. The study of human evolution involves several scientific disciplines, including physical anthropology, evolutionary anthropology, primatology, archaeology, paleontology, neurobiology, ethology, linguistics, evolutionary psychology, embryology and genetics. Catarrhini splits into 2 superfamilies, Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) and apes (Hominoidea). "Dry-nosed" (literally, "simple-nosed") primates: "Downward-nosed" primates: apes and old-world monkeys, Humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas (the African apes), First organisms to use oxygen. Recent evidence suggests these dispersals are closely related to fluctuating periods of climate change.[104]. Among the genera thought to be in the ape lineage leading up to 13million years ago are Proconsul, Rangwapithecus, Dendropithecus, Limnopithecus, Nacholapithecus, Equatorius, Nyanzapithecus, Afropithecus, Heliopithecus, and Kenyapithecus, all from East Africa. Some species/subspecies names are well-established, and some are less established especially in genus Homo. [122] Studies of the human genome using machine learning have identified additional genetic contributions in Eurasians from an "unknown" ancestral population potentially related to the Neanderthal-Denisovan lineage.[123]. Projectile points like those Potts and colleagues dated to 298,000 to 320,000 years old in southern Kenya were an innovation that suddenly made it possible to kill all manner of elusive or dangerous prey. No scientists suggest that Homo sapiens first lived in whats now Morocco, because so much early evidence for our species has been found in both South Africa and East Africa. It is thought that A. afarensis was ancestral to both the genus Australopithecus and the genus Homo. They inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 years BP, and the Americas by at least 14,500 years BP. [223] Artifacts, including a bracelet, excavated in the cave at the same level were carbon dated to around 40,000 BP. We are now the only living members of what many zoologists refer to as the human tribe, Hominini, but there is abundant fossil evidence to indicate that we were preceded for millions of years by other hominins, such as Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and other species of Homo, and that our species also lived for a time contemporaneously with at least one other member of our genus, H. neanderthalensis (the Neanderthals). [268] As human culture advanced, different populations innovated existing technologies: artifacts such as fish hooks, buttons, and bone needles show signs of cultural variation, which had not been seen prior to 50,000 BP. One skull (but only one of several) from Omo Kibish looks much like a modern human at 195,000 years old, while another found in Nigerias Iwo Eleru cave, appears very archaic, but is only 13,000 years old. Subsequent fossil discoveries, notably "Lucy", and reinterpretation of older fossil materials, notably Ramapithecus, showed the younger estimates to be correct and validated the albumin method. This unique anatomical feature separates humans from apes and other nonhuman primates, and is not seen in human fossils older than 1.8million years. Retrieved April 3, 2015. [214][215][216] However, a sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010 indicated that Neanderthals did indeed interbreed with anatomically modern humans c. 45,000-80,000 years ago, around the time modern humans migrated out from Africa, but before they dispersed throughout Europe, Asia and elsewhere. [141] The earliest fossils that have been proposed as members of the hominin lineage are Sahelanthropus tchadensis dating from 7million years ago, Orrorin tugenensis dating from 5.7million years ago, and Ardipithecus kadabba dating to 5.6million years ago. Their temporal fenestrae merged with their orbits. [28][29], The human species eventually developed a much larger brain than that of other primatestypically 1,330cm3 (81cuin) in modern humans, nearly three times the size of a chimpanzee or gorilla brain.

Similarly, the human lineage has a higher rate than the chimpanzee lineage. These fish evolved in shallow and swampy freshwater habitats, where they evolved large eyes and spiracles. The telos of 2 million years of encephalization, as human brains got bigger and bigger. The timeline reflects the mainstream views in modern taxonomy, based on the principle of phylogenetic nomenclature; H. sapiens interbred with archaic humans both in Africa and in Eurasia, in Eurasia notably with Neanderthals and Denisovans.[118][120]. [154][155][156][157][158] One of the oldest known primate-like mammal species, the Plesiadapis, came from North America;[159][160][161][162][163][164] another, Archicebus, came from China. Larger social groups could imply that modern humans had less risk of inbreeding within their clan, trade over larger areas (confirmed in the distribution of stone tools), and faster spread of social and technological innovations. sediba, and Au. This timeline of Homo sapiens features some of the best evidence documenting how we evolved. They manufactured and used tools (including blades, awls, and sharpening instruments), developed a spoken language, and developed a rich culture that involved hearth construction, traditional medicine, and the burial of their dead. As Homo sapiens became more prevalent across these areas the Neanderthals faded in their turn, being generally consigned to history by some 40,000 years ago. Stone tools are first attested around 2.6million years ago, when hominins in Eastern Africa used so-called core tools, choppers made out of round cores that had been split by simple strikes. [60] boisei, constitute members of the same genus; if so, they would be considered to be Au. They did not need to return to water for reproduction nor breathing. They seem to have been culturally conservative, maintaining the same technologies and foraging patterns over very long periods. The individuals show signs of having been deliberately disposed of within the cave near the time of death. Acanthostega is an extinct tetrapod, among the first animals to have recognizable limbs. light skin in Europeans and East Asians (KITLG, ASIP), after 30 ka;[71]Inuit adaptation to high-fat diet and cold climate, 20 ka.[72]. Modern human presence in Southern Africa and West Africa. And in 2001, a team led by Michel Brunet discovered the skull of Sahelanthropus tchadensis which was dated as 7.2 million years ago, and which Brunet argued was a bipedal, and therefore a hominidthat is, a hominin (cf Hominidae; terms "hominids" and hominins). [7] Environmental (cultural) evolution discovered much later during the Pleistocene played a significant role in human evolution observed via human transitions between subsistence systems. ; Clyde, W.C. (2004). The evolutionary lineage that led to our species, Homo sapiens, split from the one that led to our closest living relatives, chimpanzees, roughly 6m to 7m years ago, with the laryngeal changes . The Placodermi were the first jawed fishes (Gnathostomata); their jaws evolved from the first gill/pharyngeal arch and they largely replaced their endoskeletal cartilage with bone and evolved pectoral and pelvic fins. Humans took a leap in tool tech with the Middle Stone Age some 300,000 years ago by making those finely crafted tools with flaked points and attaching them to handles and spear shafts to greatly improve hunting prowess. In their seminal 1967 paper in Science, Sarich and Wilson estimated the divergence time of humans and apes as four to five million years ago,[96] at a time when standard interpretations of the fossil record gave this divergence as at least 10 to as much as 30million years.

H. erectus is the first known species to develop control of fire, by about 1.5 Ma. Fossils often boast a mixture of modern and primitive features, and those dont evolve uniformly toward our modern anatomy. The remains presence in the northwestern corner of Africa isnt evidence of our origin point, but rather of how widely spread humans were across Africa even at this early date. During the next million years a process of rapid encephalization occurred, and with the arrival of Homo erectus and Homo ergaster in the fossil record, cranial capacity had doubled to 850cm3. An evolutionary lineage (also called a clade) is composed of species, taxa, or individuals that are related by descent from a common ancestor. The early bipeds eventually evolved into the australopithecines and still later into the genus Homo. Additionally, the human lineage has a higher rate of protein changes than the macaque lineage.

Henshilwood, C.S. The Quarterly Review of Biology, 92(4), 411443. Panderichthys is a 90130cm (3550in) long fish from the Late Devonian period (380 Mya). While human remains can survive after hundreds of thousands of years, scientists cant always make sense of the wide range of morphological features they see to definitively classify the remains as Homo sapiens, or as different species of human relatives. The non-bipedal knuckle-walkers, the gorillas and chimpanzees, diverged from the hominin line over a period covering the same time, so either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin may be our last shared ancestor. David R. Begun[166] concluded that early primates flourished in Eurasia and that a lineage leading to the African apes and humans, including to Dryopithecus, migrated south from Europe or Western Asia into Africa. Genetic evidence has also been employed to compare species within the genus Homo, investigating gene flow between early modern humans and Neanderthals, and to enhance the understanding of the early human migration patterns and splitting dates. Proconsul was an early genus of catarrhine primates. [45], The increase in volume of the neocortex also included a rapid increase in size of the cerebellum. [32] Encephalization has been tied to increased starches[39] and meat [40][41] in the diet, however a 2022 meta study called into question the role of meat. Modern human presence in East Africa (Gademotta), at 276 kya. Additionally, the human lineage has a higher rate of protein changes than the macaque lineage. This timeline of Homo sapiens features some of the best evidence documenting how we evolved. [229], The flow of genes from Neanderthal populations to modern humans was not all one way. A skull discovered at Ngaloba, Tanzania, also considered Homo sapiens, represents a 120,000-year-old individual with a mix of archaic traits and more modern aspects like smaller facial features and a further reduced brow. The therapsids were, in turn, the ancestors of mammals. A jawbone found inside a collapsed cave on the slopes of Mount Carmel, Israel, reveals that modern humans dwelt there, alongside the Mediterranean, some 177,000 to 194,000 years ago. No. Jawed fish also have a third, lateral semicircular canal and their otoliths are divided between a saccule and utricle. Hominini: The latest common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees Human evolution from its first separation from the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is characterized by a number of morphological, developmental, physiological, behavioral, and environmental changes. Xenacoelomorphs all have a gonopore to expel gametes but nephrozoans merged it with their anus. Yes. While some (extinct) Homo species might have been ancestors of Homo sapiens, many, perhaps most, were likely "cousins", having speciated away from the ancestral hominin line. A fraction in turn interbred with Denisovans, probably in southeastern Asia, before populating Melanesia. Huxley argued for human evolution from apes by illustrating many of the similarities and differences between humans and other apes, and did so particularly in his 1863 book Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature. Since lancelets lack a heart, it possibly emerged in this ancestor (previously the blood vessels themselves were contractile) though it could've been lost in lancelets after evolving in early deuterostomes (hemichordates and echinoderms have hearts). East Asian types of ADH1B associated with rice domestication,[73] or lactase persistence. This is limited to the upper portion, since further increase can hinder normal bipedal movement. Extinction of Homo floresiensis. Consequently, they argue that humans may not represent evolution from a chimpanzee-like ancestor as has traditionally been supposed. [243] Distinctive human genetic variability has arisen as the result of the founder effect, by archaic admixture and by recent evolutionary pressures. Homo erectus lived from about 1.8 Ma to about 70,000 years ago which would indicate that they were probably wiped out by the Toba catastrophe; however, nearby Homo floresiensis survived it. robustus and Au. Typically, the older H. neanderthalensis populations did not vary in their technologies, although the Chatelperronian assemblages have been found to be Neanderthal imitations of Homo sapiens Aurignacian technologies. During the next million years, a process of encephalization began and, by the arrival (about 1.9million years ago) of Homo erectus in the fossil record, cranial capacity had doubled. In the end, Neanderthals were likely replaced by modern humans (H. sapiens), but not before some members of these species bred with one another where their ranges overlapped. A multiple dispersal model involves the Southern Dispersal theory,[124][125][126] which has gained support in recent years from genetic, linguistic and archaeological evidence. [7] Multicellular animals may have existed from 800 Ma. Some genomic regions are highly conserved during metazoan evolution, while other regions may evolve rapidly, either in all species or in a lineage-specific manner. A 100,000-year-old jawbone, complete with a pair of teeth, from Zhirendong retains some archaic traits like a less prominent chin, but otherwise appears so modern that it may represent Homo sapiens. The species evolved in South and East Africa in the Late Pliocene or Early Pleistocene, 2.52 Ma, when it diverged from the australopithecines with the development of smaller molars and larger brains. [81] Linnaeus and other scientists of his time also considered the great apes to be the closest relatives of humans based on morphological and anatomical similarities. Candidates of Hominina or Homininae species which lived in this time period include Human Evolution and Religion: Questions and Conversations from the Hall of Human Origins; Humans are culture-bearingprimates classified in the genusHomo, especially thespeciesHomo sapiens. We currently have no ancient DNA from Africa that even comes near the timeframes of our evolutiona process that is likely to have largely taken place between 800,000 and 300,000 years ago, says Eleanor Scerri, an archaeological scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany. afarensis. In general, estimating ages with genetics is imprecise, says Joshua Akey, who studies evolution of the human genome at Princeton University. Reconstructions of climate suggest that lower sea levels created several advantageous periods for humans to leave Africa for the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East, including one about 55,000 years ago. Berlin: Walter de Until about 50,00040,000 years ago, the use of stone tools seems to have progressed stepwise. "Cup-eyes" and balance organs evolve (the function of hearing added later as the more complex inner ear evolves in vertebrates). is estimated to have lived between roughly 10 to 5 million years ago. ramidus shares with bonobos reduced sexual dimorphism, and a more paedomorphic form relative to chimpanzees, suggests that the developmental and social adaptations evident in bonobos may be of assistance in future reconstructions of early hominin social and sexual psychology. The oldest known remains of Homo sapiensa collection of skull fragments, a complete jawbone, and stone toolsdate to about 315,000 years ago. [34], Furthermore, the changes in the structure of human brains may be even more significant than the increase in size. [116], Recent sequencing of Neanderthal[117] and Denisovan[118] genomes shows that some admixture with these populations has occurred. [168] In 2010, Saadanius was described as a close relative of the last common ancestor of the crown catarrhines, and tentatively dated to 2928million years ago, helping to fill an 11-million-year gap in the fossil record.[169]. While various groups of humans lived outside of Africa during this era, ultimately, they arent part of our own evolutionary story. The Human Lineage Grows and Gets Complicated: From "Missing Link" to Tree to Network. Ardipithecus, a full biped, arose approximately 5.6million years ago.[14]. By at least 90,000 years ago barbed points made of bonelike those discovered at Katanda, Democratic Republic of the Congowere used to spearfish. An archaic survivor from this stage is the acorn worm, sporting an open circulatory system (with less branched blood vessels) with a heart that also functions as a kidney. It appears that the African family tree of this species leads to Homo sapiens while a European branch leads to Homo neanderthalensis and the Denisovans. All of these share a common ancestor before about 7 million years ago. Stephen Oppenheimer has proposed a second wave of humans may have later dispersed through the Persian Gulf oases, and the Zagros mountains into the Middle East. The increased amount of oxygen causes many eukaryotes, including most animals, to become obligate aerobes.
