1. HOMININS TO HOMINIDS
Hominids is a sub-group of hominins and is made up of all humans and human-like species.

2. PRIMATES
Primates are a group that include lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes and humans.
They have undergone extensive adaptive radiation – showing a variety of structures.
Most are adaptations to arboreal life.
Some primates have become ground-dwellers.

3. MONKEYS, APES & HUMANS
With the development of new technologies it is evident that very early on primates split into two main branches:
Promisians (Lemurs & Lorises).
Anthropoids (New & Old World Monkeys).

4. EVOLUTIONARY EVIDENCE
Fossil records
DNA
Biochemical data

5. THE STORY OF HUMANS
About 35 million years ago in Africa the lineage to modern apes separated from the Old World primates.
Ramapithecus is believed to be the beginning of this lineage.
There is a belief that Australopithecus is a direct human ancestor.

6. HUMAN EVOLUTION Kenyanthropus Australopithecus Homo
There is a belief that modern humans originated in Africa and about years ago then spread out to other parts of the world where they replaced ancient civilisations.
