The road to humanity was a long road, It began in Africa some 7 million years ago when our lineage split from that of our closest living relatives the chimpanzees. Our ancestors still resembled apes nearly 4 million years later. This includes Lucy, a 3.2 million year old human ancestor discovered in Ethiopia, from a group called the Australopithecus. In some ways Lucy was very ape-like: she had a chimp-sized brain and long arms that suggest she spent a lot of time in trees, But she also walked on two legs like modern humans. Hominins living at this time probably made simple stone tools, but our ancestors didn’t really begin to look and behave like us until about 1.9 million years ago, with the appearance of the genus Homo. Homo erectus fossils have been found in Europe and Asia, marking it out as the first hominin to make its way out of Africa. They produced far more sophisticated tools than its predecessors, and was probably also the first hominin to control fire. Some researchers believe they invented cooking, providing them with more energy to allow bigger brains to evolve. Indeed, the anatomy of Homo erectus suggests it was capable of speech. Populations of Homo erectus living in Eurasia are thought to have given rise to Homo heidelbergensis, and they were considered to be our direct ancestor, But new evidence is completely rewriting this part of the human story.
