It then discusses human evolution, noting that humans developed on Earth from now-extinct primates, classified as Homo sapiens. Humans are distinguished from great apes by a more highly developed brain allowing for speech and abstract reasoning.

HUMAN WHICH BEGINS DEVELOPED ON EARTH FROM NOW-EXTINCT PRIMATES. VIEWED ZOOLOGICALLY, WE HUMANS ARE HOMO SAPIENS, A CULTURE-BEARING UPRIGHT-WALKING SPEICES THAT LIVES ON THE GROUND AND VERY LIKELY FIRST EVOLVED IN AFRICA ABOUT 315,000YEARS AGO. WHAT IS A HUMAN BEGIN
• HUMANS are culture-bearing Primates classified in the genus Homo,
especially the species Homo sapiens. They are anatomically similar and related to the great apes (orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas) but are distinguished by a more highly developed brain that allows for the capacity for articulate speech and abstract reasoning. Humans display a marked erectness of body carriage that frees the hands for use as manipulative members. INCREASING THE BRAIN • Because more complete fossil heads than hands are available, it is easier to model increased brain size in parallel with the rich record of artifacts from the Paleolithic period (c. 3.3 million to 10,000 years ago), popularly known as the Old Stone Age. The Paleolithic preceded the Middle Stone Age, or Mesolithic period; this nomenclature sometimes causes confusion, as the Paleolithic itself is divided into Early, Middle, and Late (or Upper) periods. Hominin brain expansion tracks so closely with refinements in tool technology that some scholars ignore other factors that may have contributed to the brain’s increasing size, such as social complexity, foraging strategies, symbolic communication, and capabilities for other culture-mediated behaviours that left no or few archaeological traces.
