In this episode of iDeep Dive, we explore "Human Origins 101," a comprehensive guide to the scientific understanding of human evolution. The discussion spans the history of paleoanthropology, the competing models of human origins—Out of Africa vs. Multiregional—and the fossil evidence that shapes our understanding of hominin evolution.

We examine the genetic insights into human ancestry and the development of defining traits like bipedalism, brain size, and tool use. The episode also highlights the challenges of interpreting fossil evidence, current debates in the field, and the potential future of human evolution amidst environmental change. A deep dive into the origins of humanity and what it means for our species.
