Evolution
I think that the most significant stage our evolution was the stage of Homo Ergaster. In the video, they were the first ones that really resembled modern humans appearance wise. Their reduction of hair took them away from the appearance of apes, and made them look more like modern humans. They were also the first ones to have whites in their eyes. This may seem like such a small change from previous stages, but this small change gave them the essential component of what makes us humans. Emotion. One of the key things that make humans different from other creatures is that we are able to portray what we feel to others. By having whites in their eyes, Homo Ergasters were able to communicate what they were feeling to other members.

i agree with you mayu. This was the most important stage for many reasons. First, their appearance most resembles us. Thos was the first time it looked like a human rather than an ape. Also, they were most alike us in the intelligence level. The were smart and developed real family and friends feelings like we do today. They were also smart enough to problem solve.
