Explain the origin of man and characterize the stages of anthropogenesis.

Scientists have already proven that humans descended from a common ancestor with primates. It was a very long evolutionary process. It is called anthropogenesis. The main thing that caused the appearance of Homo sapiens is the development of the brain. Also, there were changes in the structure of the body. For example – a developed thumb on the hand, four bends of the spine, and so on. But the social aspect was no less important. The appearance of speech and interaction with other people played a large role in human evolution. This was the reason for the emergence of modern man.
