Discuss and provide details of the major evolutionary changes associated with the ergaster/erectus group. Be sure to include all details that allow you to place them in the evolutionary and fossil record.
the human evolution originatesd as hominid evolution from asia and africa. the early human ancestors were the fossils of prehistoric man i.e Ramapithecus and Sivapithecus from late miocene which after 5million years lead to evolution of australopithecus fricanus in pliocene period which further evolved to homohabilis.
