This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations). Evolution helps us to understand the history of life. Five million years ago, the oldest known evidence of our arrival is hominid imprints dating back three and half million years ago. Researchers believed that humans evolve from primates, apes that once live in southern Africa. The day our ancestors started to walk upright is an evolutionary milestone.
