Human evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years. One of the earliest defining human traits, bipedalism -- the ability to walk on two legs -- evolved over 4 million years ago.
Modern Human beings evolved in Africa from a variety of hominid species over a few million years. The first humans to leave the African continent were Homo erectus (upright man), who migrated northeast about 2 million years ago when present day deserts were grassland.o when modern humans decided to look west rather than east while pondering their future in a cold Central Asia they would have found Europe already occupied by Homo neanderthalensis, who had separated from the main evolutionary line some 500,000 years ago.
