The scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts such as tools, pottery, jewelry, graves, buildings and other remains. A branch of anthropology.

Omnivorous mammals known for the use of hands, varied locomotion, and by complex flexible behavior involving a high level of social interaction and cultural adaptability.

Unit of measuring years past, meaning “before present”

what a living thing does or how it acts (what choices it makes) while alive. Some behaviors are natural (instincts) while most behaviors are learned while living

Last Common Ancestor (LCA)

the most recent individual from which all the organisms of the set are descended

changes in animal species over time to survive in an environment (‘a fortunate mutation’)

A family of primates that includes humans, their ancestors and related species, and great apes (gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans).

The study of humans, early hominids and primates. They study the biology and behavior of primates, including language, culture, societies, as well as biological and material remains.

A species’ regular movement is with the use of two legs.

Species related to H. sapiens that lived after the LCA split from genus Pan.

Hominin includes genus:

Ardipithecus, Australopithecus, and Homo.
