We'll start by clarifying what a hominin is and how it differs from other primates, including great apes like chimpanzees and gorillas. We'll discuss how identifying hominin fossils allows researchers to interpret key traits such as upright walking and brain development. Understanding these distinctions helps us trace the emergence of human-like characteristics over millions of years. We'll also explore how focusing on the hominin lineage clarifies relationships between species and helps reconstruct our ancestral past. Whether you're interested in paleoanthropology or just curious about human origins, knowing what makes a species a hominin is essential for understanding how we evolved.
