who?

Scientists have discovered a wealth of evidence concerning human evolution,

and this evidence comes in many forms. Thousands of human fossils enable

researchers and students to study the changes that occurred in brain and

body size, locomotion, diet, and other aspects regarding the way of life of

early human species over the past 6 million years.

what

Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors.

where?

it originated in aftrica and now to today it has expanded all over the world and throughout every continent.

when?

brady_wood — 2014-05-29 17:09:06 UTC

Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
