Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the genera Homo and Australopithecus differ.
Introduction: Genetic evidence showed that about 7–10 million years ago, humans were evolved from chimpanzees. The evolution of skeletal variations between other hominids and humans is linked with changes in posture and diet.
