When did the first humans live?

 

THE FIRST TRUE HUMANS lived about 80,000 years ago. But there were human-like creatures millions of years earlier. These were called hominids. They were of different kinds. The earliest hominids were much like apes. They had long arms and a big jaw. But with passage of time, they evolved (changed) to become like humans. Hominids and apes probably had the same ancestor an orangutan-like creature that lived in Africa six million years ago.

Who were the first hominids?

 Some of the oldest remains of The hominids date around four million years ago. They belong to a group of creatures  called Australopithecus, who lived in Africa.

They had a small brain, long and narrow jaws and hairy bodies. they are fruits and vegetables.

The first hominid to use tools skillfully was Homo habilis or handy man', They appeared in Africa about two million years ago. The handy man was the first real human-like creature. He had a large brain. He used tools to cut hides to make clothes and food for eating.

 

Where did hominids live?

The early hominids lived in Africa. They only began to spread out two million years ago.

What is the Stone Age?

Stone Age was the period when early humans made their tools and weapons from stone. This period lasted from the time early humans made the first stone tools about 3.4 million years ago till the time the first metal tools began to be made The Stone Age is divided into three periods: the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age from 2 million to 12,000 years ago; the Mesolithic from 12,000 to 9,000 years ago and the Neolithic or New Stone Age from 9,000 to 6,000 years ago.
