Introduction:- • Human evolution is a process of change by which people originated from Ape like ancestors. • Homo sapiens is the most prominent species on earth Is the result of over 7 million year of evolution. • The traces of human evolution Have been obtained through fossil records And morphological ,Physiological And embryological Studies. • The Animal Homo Sapiens belongs to family Hominidae and sub order Anthropoida of the order Primates.
- 3.

- 9. Neanderthal man: • They lived in Europe and Asia between 100,000- 40,000 years back. • They had a brain size of 1400cc( same as modern human). • They used hides( skin of animals) to protect their body. • They lived in huts and omnivore in nature. • Development of speech centre and language started.
- 10. Homofossilis: • Origin and Evolution 50,000- 10,000 year ago. • Fossil discovered by Mac. Gregor from Cro-Magnon rock of France. • They had cranial capacity of 1650cc ( maximum). • The Cro-Magnon people left behind very elaborate cave paintings showing the attainment of a form of culture.
- 11. Homo sapiens Sapiens : • During ice age between 75000-10,000 year ago modern Homo Sapiens arose. • It arose in Africa and moved across continents . • This is the man of today having a brain capacity of 1300- 1600 ( avg-1450cc). • This man has well develop chin , face, circular jaw , speech centre. • Omnivore by nature. • Agriculture was also started by this man.
