This lecture explores the evolution of humans, starting from the common ancestors with animals to the appearance of Homo sapiens. It covers topics such as the classification of mammals, the development of mammals' characteristics, the origin of modern man, and the genetic adaptation to environmental changes. The lecture also delves into the demographic and adaptive history of humans, the genetic diversity of populations, and the genetic basis of human traits. Furthermore, it discusses the genetic diseases, natural selection, and the migration patterns of modern humans out of Africa.
