Human Evolution

Where did we come from? How did we get here? What steps were there in getting here? These are some questions you might ask yourself.These are all cool things to learn about. In the beginning there was only one type of humanlike creature. This was the birth place of monkeys and other animals. This was also the start of humans. The first type of animal was a lemer like creature. This creature walked on all fours and lived in Africa. Soon this creature moved from the trees. They moved to the ground to look for food cuz they needed food. They also needed space to live. The first big step in human evolution was when the lemerlike creatures started standing on two legs. (They adapted to the ground to look for food, they had straight backs and walked on two legs to help them survive on the ground).

Our ancestors were originally from Africa. They adapted to the ground by learning to stand up. After they did this some of the people went out to explore but never came back. After a while Africa became to full of people so the ancestors moved to Asia. The water wasn't deep back then so the people could just walk across the ocean! (They walked across the ocean because it got to crowded, thats how we were everywhere in the world). From there they changed into creatures called //homo sapiens//. These people were even smarter and better than the other cave people. They were more artistic and burried eacother. This showed that the //__homo sapiens__// cared more towards eachohter. This also showed that they were aware and had feeling for each "tribe" member. When the //__homo sapiens__// traveled to Europe they met people called cave people called neaderthalls. These cave people were very big and tall compared to the homo sapiens. they also had flatter faces. The neanderthals were really big. The //__neanderthals__// weren't fit to survive longer than homo sapiens so the //__neanderthals__// went extinct like the dinosours did. There is proof that these two types of hominids, (early humans), existed. There are rock tools from the //__neanderthals__// and there are wooden spears from the //__homo sapiens__//.
