Have you ever wondered, " When, where and how did we originate". According to Randall Susman, " The fossil record of early hominid evolution shows primitive (ape-like) and advanced (human-like) features. This supports DNA evidence of our close relationship to the African apes. The earliest hominids include Sabelanthropus, Orrorin and Ardipithecus." This shows that we originated and started to get bigger brains and start to walk about 6-8 million years ago or even earlier. Randall and other scientists put us in a group called "Homo-Sapiens". As of Dictionary.com, Homo-Sapiens is the meaning of "the species of bipedal primates to which modern humans belong, characterized by a brain capacity averaging 1400 cc (85 cubic in.) and by dependence upon language and the creation and utilization of complex tools." There are other species that are Human-like that are not in the homo-sapien group, these species are more ape like and they survived unlike some Homo-Sapien species that did not survive unlike the apes and us. The Homo-Habilis is the first known species to make tools out of different materials and manipulate the tool in a way the would make it better, for example taking a rock and breaking the edge to make it jagged and sharp for cutting use.
These other Human-Like species mean that we today are smarter and able to walk, we surely are descendents from them in some way and for the better.
