Human Evolution
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 change in 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.
The Phylogenic Tree
This cladogram (map of emergence of new species from previous ones) shows the relationship of the Homo geuns to the other species of primates.
MAN
CHIMPANZEE
GORILLA
ORANGUTAN
Australopithecus PRECURSOR This ape was the first true hominin but is extinct today.

Homo sapiens
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo erectus MIGRANT This is the species that left Africa and rapidly populated almost all the Old World. From the form of its larynx, it is deduced that Homo erectus could talk.
CULTURAL ANIMAL The only surviving species of the Homo genus. Its evolution that took place not through genetics but through culture.
HUNTER-GATHERER Very similar to Homo sapiens; nevertheless, it is not its ancestor, but a species that emerged from Homo erectus.
