I can't effing send pics
So I'll send you links
Now the skeletons have been dated to roughly 2.9 to 2 million years ago
And I know you disagree with the dates but Im sure you can agree that they existed
Do you? @Citizen Z
Anyway, it was from this species that we get the first hominids
We know that because of the limb structure but I won't go into those details now
This species was the common ancestor of all hominids and I'll send a link to show them
The similarity is pretty obvious and this species is called homo habilis which did not coexist along the aforementioned australopithecus Africanus and we know this because of relative dating
And we also know they made stone tools because we have found stone tools and hand crafted materials in homo habilis sites and in their graves
Not yet homo sapiens, but they made stone tools... Pretty impressive right
Anyway, these guys had a "cousin", homo rudolfenses
I don't expect you to read it so just look at the picture of the skull
Now homo rudolfensis was the ancestor of homo erectus
I'm sure you've heard of that
So like, they were the ones who were confirmed to walk upright because of their hip bone structure
Anyone with any knowledge in forensics can confirm that so there is little doubt that homo erectus walked upright
Again, you don't have to read it but if you saw the picture you can see how the skull is similar to the skull of homo rudolfenses and also how much more similar it is to a modern humans skull
*side note there are other hominids who lived at the same time but we're not interested in them right now because I'm talking about the origin of "humans"*
And then we have homo hiedelbergenesis
The similarity to a human skull is increasing and it is becoming less and less like an "ape"
This guy then evolved to form homo sapiens!!!! Which is us!!!!
Yaaay
Now if you want more "evidence" of the transformation read from the links I sent you and see how the tooth cavities and hip bones all suggest common ancestry
Aannnd most importantly we have genetics
We were able to extract nuclear DNA (yes nuclear DNA and not mitochondria DNA) from a sample of homo Neanderthal fossil (oh btw the common ancestor of homo sapiens and homo Neanderthal was homo hiedelbergenesis) and confirmed that we share their DNA suggesting, rather confirming that we interbred with them at some point
@Citizen Z *dab* if you actually read that and still have problems feel free to ask
Lol
Not verifiable
Show me the data
Museum have fake bones in them and claim to have the real fossils hidden away for protection
Plus they recreate most the fossils. They interpret
They make shit up
😂 😂
