Human Evolution - Skeletal Details

Add comment Add tags

Human evolution is the biological and cultural development and change of our hominin ancestors to modern humans.

The study of skeletal remains can reveal much about humans and their close relatives. Characteristics of skeletons reflect lifestyles and enable us to examine some of the similarities and differences between modern day primates and their ancestors.
