The Evolution of Humans The evolution of humans was (and is) a very important time. The first being of evolution was Australopithecus Afarensis or “Lucy”. Then we moved on to Homo erectus and Homo Neanderthal. When the weather got hotter, we were Homo Sapiens Sapiens and finally, the modern man. This evolution did not happen overnight.

Human evolution is a big part of humans being primates, and having similar features and characteristics make humans to be considered to be a primate, but both humans and non-humans have differences. The human evolution states that humans have been developed from primates, like an ape. This also means that humans are apelike ancestors as well.
But their contact with the great Apes is also bringing disease and sickness to the mammals. Common human viruses are killing the endangered great apes. Human and Chimpanzees share a long list of diseases. Most of the more recent human pandemics can be classified as zoonosis, infectious diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans.
