Gould also relied very heavily on his personal secretary Edwin Prince, who was responsible for managing the day-to-day affairs of Gould's business.

Homo sapiens – modern humans
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/homo-sapiens-modern-humans/

All people living today belong to the species Homo sapiens. We evolved only relatively recently but with complex culture and technology have been able to spread throughout the world and occupy a range of different environments.

Australopithecus garhi
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/australopithecus-garhi/

This hominin lived 2.5 million years and, although similar to other australopithecines, it displayed some surprising features.

Orrorin tugenensis
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/orrorin-tugenensis/

A key specimen of the human story, its position on our family tree is highly debated. Is it the oldest known hominin or should it be placed on the tree before the human line split from the line leading to chimpanzees?

The human family tree
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/the-human-family-tree/

Our family tree extends back for five to seven million years to the time when our ancestors took their first two-legged steps on the path toward becoming human. During this vast period of time our family tree grew to include many ancestors representing different species from our evolutionary past

The first migrations out of Africa
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/the-first-migrations-out-of-africa/

About 2 million years ago, the first of our ancestors moved northwards from their homelands and out of Africa.

What will we look like in the future?
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/what-will-we-look-like-in-the-future/

Predicting what we will be like in the future has been the domain of science fiction writes for centuries

How do we know what they ate?
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/how-do-we-know-what-they-ate/

The foods eaten by our ancestors can tell us a lot about their lifestyles and the environments in which they lived. Food has also played a major role in human evolution, particularly when meat became a significant part of the human diet about two million years ago.

How do we know what they looked like?
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/how-do-we-know-what-they-looked-like/

Seeing our ancestors’ fleshed-out faces and bodies helps us to imagine them as living beings. Instead of staring at fragments of bone, we can gaze into a face from the past. Reconstructions that show flesh on bone begin with a detailed knowledge of primate anatomy.

How do we know an individual’s age at death?
https://australian.museum/learn/science/human-evolution/how-do-we-know-an-individuals-age-at-death/

Scientists can sometimes work out how old an individual was at the time of their death. Their age at death is determined by examining their teeth and bones, and by understanding how quickly these structures develop within the bodies of our ancestors.
