Humans evolved from apes and are an independent branch of the ape system. Its appearance and development is a long historical process.
Paleoanthropology research shows that many kinds of ancient apes lived in the old continent1.200 million years ago. But which one of them is the direct ancestor of human beings, and when and where they started the evolutionary process from apes to humans, is still a far-from-solved problem.
Where human beings come from seems to be our eternal mystery. Now some geneticists claim that we modern people all had a pair of ancestors 6.5438+0.5 million years ago. The clue that the root-seeking journey can be based on is our body. Through consanguinity, we tried to travel through time and space to find our ancestors 6.5438+0.5 million years ago.
