Today, man is the dominant animal on the planet. Our ancestors were ape-like animals live in trees. Scientists have jointly composed with great care given our history of fossil bones in the rock, a vision of what seemed like our ancestors have given. Remains of their tools and weapons are evidence of how they lived. There are still many mysteries, but new discoveries are to complete the story.

Scientists believe that a small ape-like creature called Ramapithecuswould our ancestors. This animal lives in forests 14-6000000 years old, and probably slept at night in the safety of the trees and just got on the floor during the day. A lot of time that sank on all fours, but sometimes you can stand on its hind legs, perhaps it is to capture the food of young fruit trees. This is one of the main differences between us and other animals, the fact that we walk on two legs ratherfour. Scientists believe Ramapithecus is the ancestor of our form of it jaw and teeth, which were more like a human than an ape.

About 14 million years ago also lived another creature like a monkey called Dryopithecus, scientists may be the ancestors of modern apes. Life in Africa was different about 3,000,000 years of man-monkey called hominids, this name comes from the word homo, man. A hominid species Australopithecus was and there wasdifferent ways. The highest growth is not more than about 1.5 meters, and its brain was only half as large as ours, but they could in their two legs to walk. They ate fruits and plants, birds, and probably the eggs when they get the chance, they had to steal.

Livingstone was also another hominid called Homo, he believed a larger brain of Australopithecus and scientists, was a direct ancestor of man. Homo was a meat eater, looking for small groups in which animals move slowly, sick or young people. You canthey used stones and thick branches, killing them. develops very slowly over millions of years, and changed and hominid remains found in eastern Africa, have found traces of the instrument of our ancestors. Scientists have known they called Homo habilis, which means a practical man, the thought of an early member of the larger group, such as Homo erectus.

Homo habilis is the first of our ancestors to make tools and use is unknown. Helicopters were simple stone and stone hasFragments, where the production of such tools of science and technology of today and also out of the shelters first. These were made of twigs and branches, stones and rocks are to support it, would be given greater protection from the elements and wild animals sleep during the night. And as a matter of interest, because they did not know how to make fire, the flesh was torn to pieces and eaten raw.

There are few remains only to show that Homo erectus evolved gradually, but weWe know who lived about 250,000 years, a new type of people, and they were Homo sapiens, meaning wise man, and this is the group to which we belong, and there were several species of Homo sapiens.

The Neanderthal people were heavy and stocky guy with strong muscles and a receding forehead and lived mainly in Europe during the last glaciation. You need to have a hard time, because at that time, much of Europe was covered with ice and snow all the time.

The firstfully modern humans appeared in Europe about 40,000 years ago, and these people are called the first Cro-Magnon, according to the place in France, where their remains were found. Scientists are not sure what happened to the Neanderthals, may be because the Cro-Magnon had better tools and weapons to kill and traveled in large groups can, or that they are not issued on warmer weather ended up as the Ice Age.

In addition to being good and huntersArtists of the people of Cro-Magnon, many other skills. They made the needles from reindeer antlers chips, which used to sew animal skins for clothing, and did not like the cotton yarn we use today, but used the strips of leather or gut. The Cro-Magnon added beaded jewelry, bracelets and pendants from many things, like stones, shells and bones, are so because they were often buried with them when they died.

He took to put a lot of careful studyshared thoughts on the evolution of early humans, and new discoveries often mean changes in these ideas, so nothing is guaranteed. And living as a civilization on this planet, humanity with the knowledge and technology that we know today, and growing rapidly, and who knows what will develop in the distant future, for the flights, the extent to which we have already anticipated .
