The genus Homo evolved in Africa a little less than 2.5 million years ago, characterised by increasingly large brains that equipped them better for survival –their predecessors the australopithecines became extinct soon thereafter. Mary and Louis Leaky became famous for their discovery of the Homo habilis site in Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge- a small ape – like biped that was skilled with stone tools (hence the name). Later hominids were larger, stronger and more anthropomorphic.The fossil record shows that hominids spread from Africa to Europe and Asia in multiple waves beginning about 2 million years ago (exactly how many species were involved, and how recently some survived, remains uncertain). They appear to have developed vocalisation, hunter-gatherer social groups and the use of fire over the next million years. The current scientific consensus, supported by DNA studies, is that modern humans arose in Africa 200,000 years ago, before spreading out, replacing and interbreeding with other hominids.https://kamleshsujata.blog/2026/06/13/world-history-2-tools-art-and-belief/Shravan charity missionen2026-06-13T15:47:19+00:00World History 2…Tools, Art and Belief
