The difference between chimpanzees and bonbons may seem petite‚ but they are not as similar as people may think. The differences like their diet‚ socialization within each species‚ and population really divides their species.

from the Hominidae family.[3] Bipedalism is the basic adaption of the Hominin line‚ and the earliest bipedal Hominin is considered to be either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin‚ with Ardipithecus‚ a full bipedal‚ coming somewhat later. The gorilla and chimpanzee diverged around the same time‚ about 4-6 million years ago‚ and either Sahelanthropus or Orrorin may be our last shared ancestor with them. The early bipedals eventually evolved into the australopithecines and later the genus Homo.Human evolution

Finding of Lucy Lucy was a 3.2 million old Australopithecus Afarensis skeleton to ever be found. She was found in Ethiopia on November 24 1974. They first spotted the forearm bone and then they found some other parts of her body as well. Only 40% of her bones have been found yet. Lucy’s discovery is very important to the world because it shows everybody how their ancestors might have looked in the past. It is also important because it helps us understand our past and where we came from
