Prehistory

1. Evolution:

It is the change in the genetic inheritance of the populations through the generations. This has origin the diversity of forms of life that exist on the Earth. All of them from a common ancestor that existed between 3800 and 3500 million years ago.

2. prehistory 

Prehistory is the longest of all the stages in which history is divided and ranges from the appearance of the first hominids 5 million years ago (m.a.) to the appearance of writing, around 3500 BC. C. 

- Thus the main characteristic of this period is the absence of written documentation. 

- This fact means that the knowledge that can be obtained is limited by the material sources that have been preserved and that are located by archaeologists, paleontologists and anthropologists. 

- They analyze tools, weapons, ceramics, settlements, burials, paintings, fossiliced bones...

   

   

   

  

As you can see, despite and precisely for lack of written documents, there are many remains that allow researchers to know what happened and that is why every data, site, fossil, etc., has an incalculable value.

3. Human evolution

Human beings today are the result of a long process of evolution called hominization. Our ancestros gradually acquired the characteristics that make us different from the other primates.
