Explain your answers "Based on evidence from the fossil record, they think that the first hominins split off from early apes between six and eight million years ago. Hominins are a group of primates that include humans and pre-human ancestors. The oldest-found hominin appears to be Sahelanthropus tchadensis. Only an incomplete skull has been found, but it has enough in common with later hominins for scientists to be pretty certain it’s a human ancestor. The several known species of Australopithecines had more human traits, like bigger brains. Many of them were bipedal, too. That’s how evolution works: animals with advantageous traits survive long enough to breed and pass those traits on. About two and a half million years ago, various species of Homo hominins began to appear."
