  • Evolution: The gradual process of change in living organisms over long periods, resulting in the development of new species from common ancestors.

  • Hominid: A member of the biological family Hominidae, which includes modern humans, their ancestors, and other great apes like chimpanzees and gorillas.

  • Australopithecus: An early genus of hominids that lived in Africa around 3 to 4 million years ago; known for being bipedal but still partly arboreal.

  • Homo habilis: Known as the "handy man," it is one of the first human species to make and use simple tools, living approximately 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago.

  • Homo erectus: The "upright man," a species that appeared in Africa about 1.9 million years ago, capable of using fire, making advanced tools, and migrating out of Africa.
