evolution occurs through
genetic variation and
reproduction, and involves
the transfer of genes from
one generation to the next.

Scientists study the changes in
the physical body of humans,
the changes in the shape and
size of their bones, living in
contrasting climates and
environmental conditions.
2. Cultural

Cultural evolution occurs
through the development
of customs and
languages, and involves
the transfer of
information either within
a generation or across
many generations.

Long time ago, there were giraffes with
short and long neck. The ones with
short neck couldn’t eat, they were
really hungry.
Only long-necked giraffes survived.

Homini
It is oneds
of the erliest
members of the 2 primate
family hominidae,
containing humans, their
immediate ancestors, and
close extinct relatives.

Hominidae.
Physical Features of
Hominids
1. Body Size - enormously body size
2. Relative Brain Size - larger primates usually
have larger brains.
3. Tool Making - only human primates such as
apes use tools, although several species of
monkey use "weapon" like branches, stones, or
fruit.
4. Language - Only humans have symbolic
