Besides fossil evidence, is there any other way to study the origin and development of human beings?

.

At present, there are only two methods to study the origin of human beings, namely, genetic analysis and fossil analysis.

Unfortunately, the conclusions of these two analyses are quite different.

Generally speaking, fossil research and analysis advocates the theory of multi-origin, that is, human beings began to walk out of Africa from Homo erectus, then dispersed around the world and evolved into modern people.

Genetic analysis firmly believes in the single origin theory, that is, all human beings (Homo erectus, etc.). People who walked out of Africa in the era of Homo erectus were eliminated, and only the late Homo sapiens, which originated in East Africa, was the main ancestor of modern people.

.

As for human development, there are two other research methods.

1 cultural relics research-By studying the weapons, tools, food, luxury goods, sacrifices and buildings used by ancient people, we can study the development track of human beings.

2. Research on historical materials-By studying and analyzing fantasy novels, various dramas, paintings, Homer's epics, historical records and other historical materials, we can study the trajectory of human development.
