🌍Human evolution started with a single-celled organism and has since seen the emergence of various species within the Homo genus.
🚶♂️Bipedalism, or the ability to walk upright on two feet, was a significant milestone in human evolution.
🧠Encephalization, the development of a large brain, was a crucial step in human evolution.
🔥Evidence suggests that Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis interacted and interbred.
