What can fossils tell us about human evolution?

[Campus reveiw]

Human evolution is studied using several kinds of evidence, including fossilized bones, ancient tools, footprints, and genetic research.

These clues help scientists investigate how early hominins moved, adapted to their environments, developed technologies, and spread into different regions.



One interesting aspect is that human evolution was not a straight sequence of species. Multiple human relatives existed, and the relationships between some groups remain areas of scientific investigation.
