3. Did we evolve from monkeys?
Humans are more
closely related to
modern apes than to
monkeys, but we
didn't
evolve from apes,
either.

4. They are anatomically
similar yet different
because of their marked
erectness that frees the
hands for use as
manipulative members.
Physical difference

5. Human brain
allows for -
Articulate speech
and Abstract
reasoning.
Difference in Brain Size

6. When did humans evolve? Strong evidence supports
the branching of the
human lineage from the
one that produced great
apes (orangutans,
chimpanzees, bonobos,
and gorillas) in Africa
sometime between 6 and
7 million years ago

7. Ardipithecus ramidus
Its the earliest know genus of the
zoological family Hominidae.
They lived between 5.8 to 4.4
million years ago.
Australopithecus
These may have been the first
primates to get a round mainly by
walking upright.
Firstly they appeared in east
Africa approximately 4.4 million
years ago.
Homo habilis
They are early bipedal hominid species
called homo habilies.
The unique features about them is they
had a larger brain
Homo ergaster/erectus
This early hominids lived on the
ground, walked upright, created tools
to aid in hunting.
They moved out of Africa
approximately 1.8million years ago
Homo Heidelbergensis
They appeared in Europe,
Northwestern Africa and possibly
Asia.
The species lived from 600000 to
200000 years ago.
Homo neanderthalensis
They appeared in western Asia
and Europe between 200000 and
250000 years ago.
They developed to survive the
harsh climates in which they lived

8. Homo Sapiens
The species that you and all
other living human beings on
this planet belong to is Homo
Sapiens
Homo Sapiens evolved in
Africa 300000 years ago.
There was a change in
behaviors that helped them
respond to the challenges of
survival in unstable
environments.

9. Can we devolve?
Technically we cannot, but, never say
never because:
 Globally, there is an increase in mental
illness.
 Our brain size has reduced by 10 per
cent.
 Our IQ is also falling by 7 per cent a
generation.
 Over-stimulation leads to dopamine
depletion and brain cell death

10. The appearance of man was a climatic event in
the history of earth
Man evolved from Ramapithecus to Recent man
Evolution was of short span of time i.e
Pleistocene toHolocene
Distribution is according to Natural Resources
Man is the finest product in the Evolution
Conclusion
I hope this presentation has increased your scientific knowledge about
ourselves and I hope you have lost a lot of your brain cells
