Fossils provide important clues about human origins from "summary" of Introduction to Physical Anthropology by Robert Jurmain,Lynn Kilgore,Wenda Trevathan,Russell L. Ciochon,Eric J. Bartelink
The study of fossils is crucial to our understanding of human origins. Fossils are the remains of ancient organisms that have been preserved in rocks or sediments over time. These fossils provide us with important clues about the evolutionary history of humans and our closest relatives.

Furthermore, fossils can help us trace the evolu...
