Humans were born 5 million years ago, about 4.5 million years ago, man and ape began to differentiate, producing Rama ancient ape, and later evolved from Rama ancient ape to Australopithecus 2 million years ago, further developing into modern humans.

Humans are differentiated from the animal kingdom, and taxonomically, they belong to the vertebrate subphylum, mammals, primates, ape suborders, and human families. According to the fossil material of ancient apes and ancient humans that have been discovered, the earliest humans may have appeared 3 million or 4 million years ago.

Theoretically, the process of human origin is divided into three major stages, both the ancient ape stage, the human and ape stage, the stage of people who can make tools, and the later stage includes two major periods of apes and Homo sapiens, which are divided into two stages: early and late.

The early ape-man stage, which lived about 3 million to 1.5 million years ago, already had the basic characteristics of humans, able to walk upright and make simple gravel tools.

In the late ape-man stage, about 2 million to 300,000 years ago, the body was like a human, the brain was larger, it could make more advanced paleolithic tools, and began to use fire, such as the Beijing ape-man in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, China.

The early Homo sapiens (Ancient) stage, 100,000 to 200,000 to 50,000 years ago, gradually departed from the characteristics of apes and was very close to modern humans, such as the Neanderthals of Germany.

Late Homo sapiens (newcomer) stage, about 40,000-50,000 years ago, the evolution of human beings at this time has accelerated significantly, in the form has been very similar to modern people, in culture, there have been the art of carving and painting, and the appearance of ornaments, such as the Zhoukoudian Dragon Bone Mountain Peak Cave Man discovered in 1933, at this time primitive religion has been produced, has entered the matriarchal society, in the late Homo sapiens stage, modern people began to differentiate and form, and distributed to all parts of the world.
