The earliest human direct evidence to study the origins of humans comes from fossils. Anthropologists use the method of comparative anatomy to study various fossils of ancient apes and humans, determine their relative and absolute ages, so as to determine the age of human fossils, and roughly divide the evolutionary history of humans into several stages. Geneticists use biochemical and molecular biology methods to study the size and rate of mutation of proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) between modern humans, various apes and other higher primates to calculate their respective origins and differentiation ages.
At present, it is generally believed that the time when Australopithecus transformed into the first human ancestor was 7 million years ago. Judging from the human fossils that have been discovered, the evolution of human beings can be roughly divided into the following four stages: (1) Australopithecus stage.
Australopithecus australopithecus has been found to have lived between 4.4 million and 1 million years ago. According to the study of the anatomical features of fossils, the most important feature of Australopithecus that distinguishes it from apes is its ability to walk upright on two legs. (2) Capable person stage.
2,000,000 BC-1,750,000 BC. Homo sapiens fossils have been discovered in Tanzania and Kenya in East Africa since 1960. The first Homo hoans existed 1.9 million years ago.
Homo habilis is classified under the family Homo homo. Homo sapiens had significantly larger brains than Australopithecus australopithecus, and could use stones as materials to make tools (stone tools), which gradually evolved into Homo erectus. (3) Homo erectus stage.
Homo erectus belongs to the homo genus homo erectus (homo erectus), referred to as Homo erectus, commonly known as ape-man. Homo erectus fossils were first discovered in 1891 in Java, Indonesia. At that time, there was also a debate about whether it was a man or an ape.
It was not until the 20s of the 20th century that the fossils and stone tools of Peking Man were discovered in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, which established the position of Homo erectus in the history of human evolution. Homo erectus lived from about 1.7 million years ago to more than 200,000 years ago. To date, Homo erectus fossils have been found in Asia, Africa and Europe.
4) Homo sapiens stage. Homo sapiens is generally divided into early Homo sapiens (ancient Homo sapiens) and late Homo sapiens (modern humans). Early Homo sapiens lived between 200,000 and more than 100,000 years ago.
Late Homo sapiens began about 100,000 years ago. Its anatomy has been basically similar to that of modern humans, so it is also called modern humans in anatomical structure.

Europe, especially Western Europe, was once considered the birthplace of humanity.
Paleoanthropologists have struggled to find the right answers to this series of questions. Most paleoanthropologists believe that human beings are marked by the manufacture of tools, and that human ancestors before the appearance of real people are called "pre-humans" by scientists.
Erection is a morphological sign of the separation of man from the main trunk of the common ancestor of the apes, and the area from which he separated from the main trunk can be described as the earliest cradle of humans. Human beings continue to evolve and develop, and finally become modern people, and at the same time form different modern human races, and the area where this evolutionary process is completed is the last cradle of human evolution.
When exploring the origin of human beings, it is necessary to first establish the premise that human beings are a biological species, and they can only have one ancestor, and cannot be multiple ancestors. It cannot be said that blacks have one ancestor and whites have another. Because although different species can marry each other, they cannot give birth to offspring, and only the same species can have children.
If we advocate the theory of human multi-ancestry, we will make a common-sense mistake in biology, which has confirmed that human multi-ancestry or pluralism is contrary to scientific common sense.
Where did the separation of humans from the ape trunk take place? Was it in Africa, and then into Asia, or was it in Asia from the beginning? Whether humans originated in Africa or Asia has been a topic of debate among paleoanthropologists for more than a century.
More than 70 years after the first juvenile Australopithecus skull was found in Africa in 1924, a series of human fossils have been found in Africa, and this series of fossils constitutes a fairly complete system. In contrast, fossils excavated from Asia are difficult to compare, so most paleoanthropologists believe that it is more likely that humans originated in Africa.

Homo sapiens is the only living species of the genus Homo sapiens. The morphological characteristics are more advanced than those of Homo erectus. It is divided into early Homo sapiens and late Homo sapiens.
Early Homo sapiens used to be called hominis, lived 250,000-40,000 years ago, and was mainly characterized by a large brain volume, more than 1,300 ml; The brow crest is well developed, the forehead is more sloping, and the occipital region is prominent.

The origin of human beings is the Central Asian plateau, and human beings can be defined in terms of biology, spirituality, and culture, or a combination of these definitions. Biologically, human is classified as a hominoid species, chromosome 2 and orangutan carapace chromosome centromere fusion (equilibrium translocation) association mode proximity to the focal cherry sakura more than 16n, and multiple interarm inversions, the rest of the chromosomes have strong homology, is a higher animal.
On a spiritual level, man is described as being able to use the concept of a variety of souls that are believed to be associated with divine forces or beings in religion. In cultural anthropology, human beings are defined as beings who are capable of using the language of the Hidden Bundle, have complex social organizations and technological developments, and are especially capable of establishing groups and institutions to support and assist each other.
In ancient China, the definition of human beings was that there were historical classics, and the historical classics could be used as mirrors for self-reflection.

There are many theories about the origin of human beings, but it is generally believed that there are two places:
1. Africa: In the 19th century, Darwin believed that human beings may have originated in Africa. In the 20s of the 20th century, Australopithecus fossils were discovered in Africa, and many people believe that humans are the real place of human origin.
Moreover, Africa has a vast territory and complex terrain, including tropical jungles and grasslands, deserts and mountain valleys, which is an ideal region for human origin. In addition, many important hominoid fossils of the Middle Pleistocene have been found in Africa in the past few decades.
2. Asia: In 1857, the American paleontologist Wrighty believed that human beings first appeared in Asia. Fossils of Australopithecus rama excavated from Mount Siwarak in Pakistan and northern India.
In 1957 and 1958, in Xiaolongtan, Kaiyuan, Yunnan, China, fossils of Australopithecus forestarism and Australopithecus rama were also discovered. Later, six Lama australopithecus skulls and two Siwa Australopithecus skulls were found in Lufeng, Yunnan Province. Ramapicus is considered to be the direct ape-like ancestor of humans and belongs to the family Homo taxonomycetically.

The origin of human beings is composed of single-celled organisms when the earth just had life, there are only simple single-celled organisms, they only have life, such as grass insects, etc., with the gradual change of the earth, organisms are also gradually changing, slowly forming some small animals and plants, after hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, the changes of the earth, there is the ancestor of human beings - apes, so to speak, the origin of human beings is slowly evolved by cells!
The earliest place of origin of humans was in eastern Africa, where it evolved from Australopithecus, a branch of Australopithecus.
-
The original origin of human beings was formed by apes in nature in order to adapt to the changes in the natural world, so as to slowly evolve and form the first humans.

Where is the address of human origin? It has always been a puzzle, Europe was once considered the birthplace of mankind, and when the discovery of Peking Man there was another theory, and the origin of Central Asia was proposed.
-
The origin of human beings is a very headache for scientists, because there is no accurate answer so far, some say that it originated in Africa, although it is said that it originated in Europe, each has its own theory, I think we should wait for scientists to give an accurate answer.

Humans are the product of biological evolution, and modern humans and modern apes share a common ancestor. Based on fossil material of Australopithecus and hominin that has been discovered, the earliest humans may have been 3 million or 4 million years ago.
