Elements of evolution
Lines of evidence for the story of hominids and early humans come
together from many different fields of investigation:
* palaeoenvironmental studies
* the fossil bone record or skeletal remains including teeth;
* tools and ornaments or human technology;
* primate studies and animal behavior;
® ethnographies of living native peoples:
e
the human infant or studies in living prehistory:
and others.
Discuss evidence collected from three of these fields of investigation.
Archaeology is moreover the indicator of our ancestors’ behavior.
