Answer these questions:

1. What's been the role of climate change in the development of humans?
-Climate changes are very important for the human development because they define the environment in wich the early human lived. Thanks to climate change humans starts to eat different, live in different places and even affect to the brain size increase and the extinction of some early human species.

2. In your opinion, what is the most significant milestone for the human evolution? Why?
-In my opinion the most significant milestone is becoming bipedal because that's the start to everything. With becoming bipedal begins the evolution of the species and without that maybe we wouldn't be how actually we are.

3. Which early human species was thought to be the first to use tools made from stone?
-Homo habilis was thought to be the first stone toolmaker but then older tools were discovered.

4. Who were the first human species to travel to and live in Europe? When?
-Homo heidelbergensis were the first human species to travel and live in Europe, about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago.

5. Which species survived for the longest time? For how long?
- Homo Erectus was the one who survived the longest time, for about 1,747 million years (almost two million years!)
