Fish to Human

Lets begin with the Tiktaalik which is the link between the Panderichthys and the Acanthostega.

The Acanthostega is an extinct amphibian with more pronounced arms and legs with fingers.

Then at about the same time period the Ichthyostega emerged which had elbows and knees (probably one of the most impotrtant creatures of all time.

Some time later the Hylonomus emerged being one of the most similar things we know to a lizard

Now onto Mammals

Here arises the Phthinosuchus this was the earlieast known mammal like reptiles.

Then comes the Cynognathus which had features representing mammals and is known to be the ancestor of all known mammals.

The first mammal was a Repenomamus a rat like creature that set the basis for mammal behaviour today

The Juramaia sinensis is the earliest known mammal fossil

Here comes the primate animal group

We are all primates monkeys apes and many things like that are primates

Here arises the Plesiadapis a squirrel like creature that feeds on insects and sleeps nocturnally

Over time these primates diverge into many groups and make subtle changes to eventually become ape like creatures

Humans arise

Around 15,000,000 B.C.E Humans arose in a very simple form akin to apes

Around this time great apes speciate from gibbons

After this point all my research gave fuzzy results so I will give you a simpler breakdown of my results

Apes slowly changed and variated in form to eventually create the homo species group

The appearance of the homo habilis began the true start if the human race

]

The homo erectus appeared from africa being the first being to stand up making a great difference on us today.

The next landmark in evolution is the neandrathal a simple human what we know to be "cavemen"

Now onto us Homo Sapiens argueably the most advanced living thing

About 20-10 thousand years ago neandrathals died off and we became the dominant race
