Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from ape like

ancestors. ...Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including
bonobos, or so-called pygmy chimpanzees) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived
between 8 and 6 million years ago
Recognization of Scientists:
Most scientists currently recognize some 15 to 20 different species of early humans. Scientists
do not all agree, however, about how these species are related or which ones simply died out.
Many early human species -- certainly the majority of them left no living descendants.
Scientists also debate over how to identify and classify particular species of early humans, and
about what factors influenced the evolution and extinction of each species..
Migration of early humans
Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million
years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years.
Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people
first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years and to the Americas within the past
30,000 years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred
within the past 12,000 years.
The process of evolution
The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes that cause species (populations of
different organisms) to arise, adapt to the environment, and become extinct. All species or
organisms have originated through the process of biological evolution.
shelter food hunting:
Small groups of people are set down on a deserted island and left to fend for themselves. They have
none of the things we take for granted, such as easy access to food, shelter, clothing, or video games.
There are no cities, no roads, no tools, no doctors, no computers and no malls.
In part, these shows are so compelling because it is interesting to ponder how each one of us would
do in such a setting. Could you create tools, make rules, gather food, or work with wood? Could you
weave clothes, protect your toes, fight off a beast, or know which direction is east?
Now take yourself back 20,000 years. For Neanderthal Man, each and every day was a challenge.

Most early people got food by gathering, hunting, or fishing. They roamed to find food and often
did not occupy permanent dwellings. Some lived, as do apes, in crude nests built each night in
trees. Others lived in caves. As men learned to cultivate food crops and to domesticate animals,
permanent shelters became more common. For defense, a land village might be surrounded by a

high palisade, or fence, or be built on an island. The huts of such villages had walls of stone, clay,
or wood and were built over a pit to increase headroom. In lake villages, large dwellings were
built over platforms on piles in the water. The walls were wooden slabs plastered with clay. There
were several rooms for cooking, working, and sleeping.

The History of communication dates back to prehistoric times, with significant changes in
communication technologies (media and appropriate inscription tools) evolving in tandem with shifts
in political and economic systems, and by extension, systems of power. Communication can range
from very subtle processes of exchange, to full conversations and mass communication. Human
communication was revolutionized with Origin of language|speech approximately 500,000 years
ago. Symbols were developed about 30,000 years ago. The imperfection of speech, which
nonetheless allowed easier dissemination of ideas and stimulated inventions, eventually resulted in
the creation of new forms of communications, improving both the range at which people could
communicate and the longevity of the information. All of those inventions were based on the key
concept of the symbol.
The oldest known symbols created for the purpose of communication were cave paintings, a form
of art rock, dating to the Upper Paleolithic age. The oldest known Cave Painting is located
within Chauvet Cave, dated to around 30,000 BC.[1] These paintings contained increasing amounts of
information: people may have created the first calendar as far back as 15,000 years ago.[
