All land vertebrates (including humans) can trace their origins back to the first fish that began crawling on the land using their strong, jointed fins. Eventually, the fish became more adapted to dry land and became amphibians. However, these amphibians still laid their eggs in water, and their young were tadpoles that spent all their time in water. The first true land vertebrates were reptiles, who were born on land and spent almost all their time on land. A small group of these reptiles became warmblooded and started growing hair, so they became the first mammals. Mammals remained small until the extinction of the dinosaurs, when they were given more room to grow, diversify, and give rise to humans.
