Human evolution
Human evolution
is the
evolutionary
process that led to the emergence of
anatomically modern humans
. The topic typically focuses on the evolutionary history of the
primates
—in particular the
genus
Homo
, and the emergence of
Homo sapiens
as a distinct species of the
hominids
(or "great apes")—rather than studying the earlier history that led to the primates. The study of human evolution involves many scientific disciplines, including
physical anthropology
,
primatology
,
archaeology
,
paleontology
,
ethology
,
linguistics
,
evolutionary psychology
,
embryology
and
genetics
.
