the evolution theory

hominisation

genetic mutations occur naturally in all living beings. these changes may give an individual an advantage for survival. these individuals live longer and reproduce more successfully, passing those genes to their offspring. This is evolution.

in groups, try to come up with a proper combination of skulls, dates and species handed out to you

challenge: can you sort out the timeline of the main hominins?

the looong process of physical and cultural changes that separated us from the PAN TROGLODITES (CHIMPANzee) began 7-8 m.y. ago until we became homo sapiens

hominisation process: what is it?

OUR ANCESTORS SPREAD FROM AFRICA AS SOON AS 1,8 M.Y AGO

many "families" of species existed and coexisted until WE BECAME HOMO SAPIENS 300.OOO YEARS AGO.

consistently walking on your hind legs frees your hands so you can carry things, make tools, and you can cover long distances faster. you can also watch for predators way better.

more intelligent

thanks to the introduction of meat in the diet and environmental challenges, the brain grew as the digestive tract got smaller. meat doesn't take much to digest and is very nutritious, unlike prehistoric plants. also, surviving in ever changing and challenging environments forced our brain to grow
