average fully grown adult Homo sapiens is approximately 1200 to 1600 cubic centimetres and weighing three pounds. In comparison‚ the earliest trace of human ancestors‚ the Australopithecus clan had brains slightly greater than apes‚ around 400 cubic centimetres. Anatomically the Australopithecus were bipedal akin to humans‚ but intellectually akin to primates‚ which suggests that bipedalism preceded the growth of the brain on the timeline of human evolution. The next ancestors‚ Homo habilis had an increased

our wisdom teeth‚ and our brains are shrinking. The first sign that humans are still evolving today is due to the fact that we are still drinking milk. Millions of years ago‚ the first Homo sapiens only drank milk from their mothers while they were infants.
