Which оf the fоllоwing evidence obtаined from fossil studies is generаlly аccepted as marking the beginning of the hominids?
Primаtes аnd Humаn EvоlutiоnPrimates evоlved grasping hands and feet with opposable thumbs/toes and binocular, color vision - adaptations beneficial for an arboreal lifestyle. About 40 million years ago, the earliest primates split into two groups - prosimians (lemurs, lorises, tarsiers) and anthropoids (monkeys, apes, humans).Within anthropoids, the hominoids include the great apes (gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees) and hominids (humans and ancestral species). Soon after the gorilla lineage diverged, the common hominid ancestor split from the chimpanzee line.This hominid lineage, characterized by bipedalism and increasing brain size, includes the genera Australopithecus and Homo. Prominent fossils like the Australopithecine "Lucy" reveal human-like dentition, bipedal locomotion but ape-sized brains initially.The genus Homo marked the appearance of the first humans about 2 million years ago, originating from Australopithecine ancestors. Species like Homo habilis, H. erectus, H. heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalensis and eventually our species H. sapiens showed progressive increases in brain size enabling advanced cognition, language, tool-making and cultural complexity unrivaled among animals.
