Human Evolution

This article talks about Humans and how much they have changed over the years. It is believed that humans have evolved from apes. In the picture below, it shows they differences in skull structure, and how similar the oldest is from the most recent one. You can see how much the jaw changed a lot. Even though you can't really tell by looking at the skull, the brain has become exceptionally larger as well. The teeth look a lot different in size as well. Years ago, we were considered "vegetarians," because all we ate was leaves. Now today we have evolved from that "caveman" stage and are now humans that eat meat and still use some of the tools we did back then. So overall, the theory is we have evolved from apes, and we continue to progress on many different traits that we carry today.
