Summary
Human evolution is the process that led to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family, which includes all the great apes. This process involved the gradual development of traits such as human bipedalism, dexterity and complex language, as well as interbreeding with other hominins.

The Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program offers a welcoming place to explore the study of human evolution, with research and curriculum materials available for teachers. The program also encourages a larger, more respectful understanding of both the scientific evidence and religious belief, and provides fun facts and fun activities to explore. Finally, the program encourages visitors to visit the Hall of Human Origins to learn more about the history of humans and the evolution of the world.

Summary
Human evolution is the evolutionary process within the history of primates that led to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family, which includes all the great apes. This process involved the gradual development of traits such as human bipedalism, dexterity and complex language, as well as interbreeding with other hominins (a tribe of the African hominid subfamily), indicating that human evolution was not linear but weblike. The study of human evolution involves several scientific disciplines, including physical and evolutionary anthropology, paleontology, and genetics.
