### Class Note: Human Evolution

**Human Evolution** is the process by which modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved
from ancestral primates over millions of years.

- **Key Stages**:
- **Australopithecines**: Early ancestors, such as Australopithecus afarensis,
walked upright but had smaller brains.
- **Homo habilis**: One of the first species to use stone tools.
- **Homo erectus**: Used more sophisticated tools and migrated out of Africa.
- **Homo sapiens**: Modern humans, characterized by larger brains, advanced tool
use, language, and complex societies.

- **Evidence**: Fossils, genetic analysis, and archaeological findings provide


insights into the evolutionary history of humans.

#### Summary:
Human evolution traces our development from early primates to modern Homo sapiens,
highlighting adaptation, tool use, and cultural advancements over millions of
years.
