The first representatives of our family were Hominids, or hominids, who had effectively adapted to the woodlands of eastern and northeastern Africa. The hominids we call Australopithecus lived in eastern and southern Africa from 4.5 million years ago to 1 million years ago.

The evolution of human began about 65 million years ago with the emergence of a group called primates, descended from the class of mammals, belonging to the vertebrate branch of the animal kingdom.

This date is important because before this time the oxygen content in the atmosphere was very low and did not allow burning easily.
