The human species is the product of natural election from a succession of human like ancestors or hominutes
Some of which were capable of using simple stwwtools and weapons
The earliest of these hominutes was austrono peifocus believed to have appeared first in the saailuanns of easter and southern africa over four million years ago
The pelvits and leg of these hominent were strikingly similar to those of modern humans
But the chrannial capacity was only about one third that of a human or hardly larger than that of living appes
Thus a human leg system of walking erect on two legs rather than on all force was combined with an a blite brain
The african saveannas were ideal for primates at that level of development
The climate was warm enough to make the lack of clothing
Bearable and the open grasslands in contrast to denance forests and deserts afforded both water and animal foods
Thus despite their simple tooools
The australio piezscenes subsisted on an adequate diet
Including eggs
Craps
Tordwanases
Birds
Rodents and young antolopes
The last were easy pry
Because they freeze in the grass when faced with danger
Australio peefocus roamed the african anins for over two million years
During which time several species of this huminute appear flourished and disappear anthropopologists are not agreed on details
Because many new fines are made each other and theories change with these fines for example
Recent fossil discoveries in java challenge the traditional out of africa theory
That earliest humans originated in africa
And find out from there to asia
Europe
In americas
In australia
The jeava fossils are of such surprising antiquity
That they strengthen poposition of the multgigionalists
Who believe that early humans originated and evolved independently in many parts of the world
Doubtless many more discoveries will be made in the ears to come
And many more new theies about human origins will be formulated to take into accounts the new fossil findings
Regardless of the exact date and exact location human beings or homospopients
Thinking humans eventually did appear certainly by forty thousand years ago
Though recent cavations indicate a much earlier date
