Evolution

I think Homo Egaster was the most influential stage for human development. They learned or adapted to sweating instead of panting to preserve oxygen and function better in their hot environments. This gave us a greater amount of stamina. The whites of the eyes also was a huge advancement in communication. Being able to understand preliminary emotions is huge. I also noticed that in the video they wanted to keep peace within their group when one attacked another. I think this was huge.

I agree that Homo Ergaster was the most influential in human evolution. Being able to sweat helped our species tremendously. Also, communication is what brought us to be superior species and this stage played a huge role in that
