'Functional morphology of the hominoid forelimb'

A hominoid is any Primate of the group that includes humans (and our, extinct, ancestors) and the Great Apes.

Hominoid evolution can be traced from Proconsul to Homo through a series of fossil evidence, genetic analysis, and comparative anatomy studies. Key transitional hominoid fossils such as Australopithecus and various Homo species provide a timeline of changes in morphology, behavior, and adaptations that led to the emergence of the Homo genus. Additionally, advancements in archaeological and genomic research help fill in gaps and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary journey from Proconsul to Homo.
