The evolutionary changes between humans and primates

However, even something as small as teeth can shed light on the history of human evolution. It’s not only the look of the remnant that answers the researchers’ questions, but also the ability of the experts to develop a process to analyze the 800,000-year-old chomper’s enamel. The results have cleared out the standing of the meat-eating ancestor that we only found out as recently as 1994.

Experts have long discovered that the closest living relatives to humans are the chimpanzees and that these two species began to split apart roughly 7 million years ago. However, the evolutionary changes between humans and primates aren’t clear-cut. Having that in mind, both scientists and researchers have spent many years making investments in exploring the likelihood of how we got from one point to another. As you might have guessed, there are definite points along the way.
