Human Evolution Timeline

1. What's been the role of climate change in the development of humans?

The primates of the time had to migrate from the place they lived before because the climatic conditions were not suitable for the species. They needed a much warmer place that allowed flora and fauna to exist. Something similar happens in the film was the ice where it shows how even the animals had to migrate due to the cold.

 

Then these primates had to adapt to their new climate and along with it change their culture and lifestyle. They went from being these "monkeys" that used their teeth to eat and hunt, to being a much more civilized new species. Upon discovering the fire, he started this new tool that not only served to protect himself from the cold but also served to cook his food. Making your digestive system process food better. Later, with their intelligence, they would build tools that make it easier to hunt animals without requiring so much effort and energy..

By taking advantage of these increasingly useful new ideas, they learned to live with their other peers. Taking advantage of the valleys that the area offered to cultivate, raise animals and at once settle in a fixed place. Going from being nomads to sedentary people who used their wits to their advantage.

2. In your opinion, what is the most significant milestone for the human evolution? Why?

In my opinion, the most significant invention to start the first civilizations that later allowed humans to evolve to the level we currently know is fire. Fire is the most important tool the monkey could discover. This allowed it to digest its food better, light up dark nights and provide warmth. This begins significant scientific advances of the time.

3. Which early human species was thought to be the first to use tools made from stone?

The first species to discover and use the first tools is presumed to be hominids. These are the first primates to be bipeds, so they used their two feet to walk and their hands to cut their

meat. A curious fact about this is that it is said that they separated the meat from the bones to eat their food. As we do until today. There are things that never change HAHAHA.

4. Who were the first human species to travel to and live in Europe? When?

Homo heidelbergensis was the first human species to leave its natural habitat and ventured to Europe, which was a fairly icy area indeed. This event happened about 600,000 years ago. (Even more)

5. Which species survived for the longest time? For how long?

The species that survived much longer was Homo Erectus, which lived between 2 million years and 117,000 years before the present. I think that in this case the law applies "the strongest always survive" because it cannot be denied that this friend remained so long due to his lifestyle and his enormous intelligence.
