Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth. Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:

Do mutations in body cells contribute to genetic variation? No, the causes of body cell mutations are outside the body and cannot alter DNA. Yes, these body cell mutations lead to mutations in the gametes. No, the mutations cannot be passed to offspring and only affect the individual.
