The Evolutionary Journey of Humanity

Walking upright was the ultimate evolutionary gamble that paid off. It started with

ancestors like Lucy who rocked a knock-kneed strut but still climbed trees, and evolved into

Homo erectus, the first pyromaniacs who cooked food and lost their fur. We weren't alone,

either. We shared the planet with literal Hobbits on islands and stocky Neanderthals,

who we definitely hooked up with since we still carry their DNA today. We eventually traded

the hunter-gatherer life for farming, which gave us cities but weaker bones. Your skeleton is

basically a history book of every survival hack your ancestors ever pulled.
