Are you able to move? Do you have to eat food? Can you sexually reproduce? Is your body made up of multiple cells with a nucleus? Do you have a nervous system? If this sounds like you, congratulations! You're just another animal. Our species history starts at least 300 Kya, most likely in the Congolian forest-savannas. We're a monkey from Africa that can climb trees for fruit and partake in social grooming, but something's a bit... off. Unlike other primates, we can only walk on two legs, and most of our hair is thin with little melanin. Lean in and listen to learn about our place in nature.
