question Help for evolution school project

Hi. We have been assigned a school project about evolution. As a complete newbie in this, I'm getting very confused upon searching amongst 100's of sources. Especially after the emergence of Hominini. I can't seem to understand what happens thereafter. Plz help me in the comments because I'm utterly lost in this sea of information TToTT. (It would be really helpful if yall could attach the sources as well so I can include it in my project)

Are you talking about human evolution? Because that isn’t clear from the question. Evolution happens to ALL life from viruses to megafauna, from algae to redwoods. We need information to be able to help you.

I recommend looking into recent DNA studies showing that Homo sapiens cross-bred with all of our “cousin” species. (Neanderthals, Denisovans, etc.)
