How did we Evolve?
How did we evolve? Homo sapiens, the newest addition to the Earth's inhabitants, emerged approximately 300,000 years ago. These upright walkers, known as humans, would go on to accomplish remarkable feats such as creating magnificent cave paintings, constructing Machu Picchu, and even inventing credit scores. However, before all of these achievements, humans were simply the ambitious newcomers, joining three other closely related ape species that already roamed the Earth. These early humans were not so different from us; some of them discovered the power of fire and began cooking their food, while others even practiced burial rituals and created art, just like we would eventually do. Although we often perceive ourselves as the dominant figures in the story of humanity, wielding fire and crafting tools, the truth is that for the majority of our existence, we shared this planet with other species. These ancient neighbors challenge our understanding of what truly defines a human. As a scientist, I prefer to reserve the term "human" exclusively for Homo sapiens.
