Human evolution - Brain Size, Adaptations, Fossils: Because more complete fossil heads than hands are available, it is easier to model increased brain size in parallel with the rich record of artifacts from the Paleolithic Period (c. 3.3 million to 10,000 years ago), popularly known as the Old Stone Age. The Paleolithic preceded the Middle Stone Age, or Mesolithic Period; this nomenclature sometimes causes confusion, as the Paleolithic itself is divided into Early, Middle, and Late (or Upper) periods. Hominin brain expansion tracks so closely with refinements in tool technology that some scholars ignore other factors that may have contributed to the brain’s increasing size, such as
Human evolution, the process by which human beings developed on Earth from now-extinct primates. The only extant members of the human tribe, Hominini, belong to the species Homo sapiens. The exact nature of the evolutionary relationships between modern humans and their ancestors remains the subject of debate.
