Denisova hominin was created in 2010.

Hominin Habilis

The hominin group has diversified over millions of years, with different species evolving and going extinct. The reason only one genus and species, Homo sapiens, remains today is likely due to various factors such as competition, environmental changes, and possibly interbreeding with other hominin species. Homo sapiens thrived and adapted better than other hominin species, leading to their dominance and survival until today.

The earliest potential hominin is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dated to around 7 million years ago.

Anthropologists have learned that Homo habilis used tools primarily for butchering meat, processing plants, and possibly scavenging carcasses. This suggests a meat-based diet and a level of cognitive and technological advancement not seen in earlier hominin species. The use of tools by Homo habilis also paved the way for further tool innovation in later hominin species.

Lucy was found in Hadar, Ethiopia in 1974. She was one of 360 other hominin specimens found there, and is believed to have lived over 3 million years ago.

Modern humans, the species homo sapiens, appeared 200 thousand years ago. Its hominin ancestors developed over the preceding 7 million years.

Man has evolved from earlier hominins over a period of around 7 million years. The earliest known hominins in turn had the same ancestors as other primates, with which we share most of our DNA.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dated to around 7-6 million years ago, may be the earliest hominin species, thus our oldest human-like ancestors. Various other hominin species have been identified, and the consensus of scientists is that our species, Homo sapiens, is directly descended from Homo erectus.

No, earlier hominin species such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus also walked on two legs. Homo erectus is known for its efficient bipedalism and long-distance walking capabilities.

Lucy is known scientifically as Australopithecus afarensis. She is a well-known hominin fossil discovered in Ethiopia in 1974 that dates back to approximately 3.2 million years ago.

The scientific name of Ramapithecus is now considered invalid. It was originally classified as a hominin species, but subsequent research and reclassification have led scientists to view it as more closely related to the orangutan lineage.

Mary Leakey made the discovery of the Laetoli footprints in Tanzania in 1976. These footprints provided evidence of early hominin bipedalism dating back over 3.6 million years ago.

The Tanzanian fossil site of Laetoli is located in the northern part of Tanzania, in East Africa. It is famous for the discovery of hominin footprints dating back to around 3.6 million years ago.

The popular fossils similar to Lucy belong to the genus Australopithecus. Lucy herself is a specimen of Australopithecus afarensis, an early hominin species that lived around 3.2 million years ago.

Louis Leakey discovered important hominin fossils in East Africa, including the first fossilized Proconsul ape in 1948. He also supported the work of his wife, Mary Leakey, who discovered the famous hominin fossil "Zinjanthropus" in Olduvai Gorge in 1959. Louis and Mary Leakey contributed significantly to the understanding of human evolution.

It is believed that Homo habilis had the ability to walk and possibly run, similar to modern humans. However, their running capabilities would likely have been less efficient and endurance-based compared to more recent hominin species.

The exact cause of the extinction of Homo floresiensis is not confirmed, but possible factors include natural disasters, competition with other hominin species, and environmental changes on the island of Flores where they lived. It is believed that a combination of these factors may have contributed to their demise.

Mary Leakey discovered hominin footprints at Laetoli in Tanzania in 1976. These footprints were preserved in volcanic ash and showed evidence of bipedalism, indicating that early humans walked upright approximately 3.6 million years ago.

A hominin is a member of the taxonomic group Hominini, which includes modern humans (Homo sapiens) and their extinct bipedal ancestors. Hominins are characterized by their erect posture, large brains, and ability to use tools.

Homo erectus is believed to be the first hominin to have mastered fire, approximately 1.5 million years ago. They were able to control fire for cooking and warmth. Homo habilis, an earlier species, is not known to have used fire in the same way.

Probably not. Little Foot is generally considered to be a fossil hominin skeleton that was found between 1994 and 1998 in a cave in South Africa. Little feet does not have any specific meaning - although there is an American rock band known as "Little Feat".

Lucy, a hominin fossil discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died approximately 3.2 million years ago. The exact cause of her death is not known, as it is impossible to determine how an individual died from their fossil alone.

The first species believed to have walked upright on two legs is Australopithecus afarensis, with the most famous example being the fossil "Lucy" discovered in Ethiopia. This early hominin species lived approximately 3.9-2.9 million years ago.

The first early humans were discovered in Africa. Hominin fossils and archaeological evidence dating back millions of years have been found across the continent, leading scientists to believe that Africa is the birthplace of modern humans.

The exact reason for the extinction of Homo erectus is still debated among scientists. Some factors that may have contributed include climate change, competition with other hominin species, and inability to adapt to changing environments. Additionally, evidence suggests that they may have been more vulnerable to environmental fluctuations compared to other hominin species.

Australopithecus africanus

Australopithecus afarensis is one of the earliest known bipedal species, but it is not definitively the first one. Other species before Australopithecus afarensis also showed some bipedal characteristics. However, Australopithecus afarensis is a well-known example of an early hominin that exhibited consistent bipedalism.

There is no historical figure known as "homohabils." It is possible that you may be referring to Homo habilis, an early species of hominin that lived in East Africa around 2.1 to 1.5 million years ago. Homo habilis is considered one of our early ancestors and is known for its stone tool-making abilities, which earned it the nickname "handy man."

Homo floresiensis, also known as the "Hobbit", is considered a distinct species from modern humans. They were a small-statured hominin species that lived on the Indonesian island of Flores around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. Their unique characteristics set them apart as a separate species within the Homo genus.

Homo floresiensis is an extinct species of hominin that lived approximately 100,000 to 60,000 years ago on the Indonesian island of Flores. The exact period of their existence is still debated among scientists.

Homo erectus lived approximately 1.9 million to 143,000 years ago. They were one of the first hominin species to move out of Africa and spread across different continents.

The discovery of a hominin skull in 1959 at Olduvai Gorge by Mary Leakey encouraged the Leakeys to continue their search for human remains. This skull, known as "Nutcracker Man" or Paranthropus boisei, demonstrated the significance of the site for understanding human evolution and motivated further excavations.

Ardipithecus is believed to have been a hominin that lived around 4.4 million years ago in Eastern Africa. They were likely bipedal, meaning they walked on two legs, but may have still spent time in trees. Ardipithecus is important in our understanding of human evolution as it represents a transitional species between earlier apes and more human-like hominins.

The earliest traces of humans on Earth date back to about 2.8 million years ago, with the discovery of hominin fossils in Ethiopia being some of the earliest evidence of human ancestors. These early hominins were part of the genus Australopithecus, such as "Lucy" (Australopithecus afarensis), and represent our early evolutionary history.

The earliest ancestors of humans are believed to be hominins, which were primitive ape-like creatures that lived millions of years ago. Some well-known hominin species include Australopithecus and Ardipithecus. These early hominins eventually evolved into the genus Homo, from which modern humans, Homo sapiens, descended.

Homo floresiensis, also known as "the hobbit," was a small hominin species that lived on the Indonesian island of Flores around 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. They stood about 3.5 feet tall and had a small brain size, leading scientists to believe they may have evolved from an earlier human ancestor. Their existence challenges our understanding of human evolution and dispersal.

Homo cepranensis is a proposed hominin species based on fossil remains found in Ceprano, Italy, estimated to have lived around 450,000 years ago. The designation and classification of Homo cepranensis is debated among scientists, with some considering it a valid species and others suggesting it may belong to Homo heidelbergensis.

A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study CONFIRMS the existence of a the hominin hybrid species living in North America that is commonly called "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show). Their extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.

The study was conducted by a team of experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and pathology, led by veterinarian Melba S. Ketchum, who says, "Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species. Our data indicate that the North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.

"Sasquatch nuclear DNA is incredibly novel and not at all what we had expected. While it has human nuclear DNA within its genome, there are also distinctly non-human, non-archaic hominin, and non-ape sequences. We describe it as a mosaic of human and novel non-human sequence."

And here's the most incredible part-- Ketchum says, "Government at all levels must recognize them as an indigenous people and immediately protect their human and Constitutional rights against those who would see in their physical and cultural differences a 'license' to hunt, trap, or kill them."

Toumai, also known as Sahelanthropus tchadensis, is an extinct hominin species that lived approximately 7 million years ago in Chad, Africa. It is one of the oldest known hominins and offers important insights into human evolution. Toumai is characterized by a mixture of ape-like and human-like features.

The line of footprints found at Laetoli in Tanzania is significant because they provide evidence of early human ancestors walking upright over 3.6 million years ago. This discovery supports the theory of human bipedalism and offers insight into the evolution of our ancestors' locomotion and behavior.

The name "sediba" comes from the Sotho word meaning "wellspring," chosen due to the significance of the fossil find and the idea that it represents a source of knowledge about human evolution. "Australopithecus" indicates its classification as an early hominin ancestor closely related to the genus Homo.

Homo erectus is believed to have been the first hominin species to exhibit intentional burial practices. Evidence of this includes findings of skeletons laid in a deliberate position, sometimes with tools or other objects. These burial practices suggest a level of cognitive and cultural development in Homo erectus.

Australopithecus was an important genus in human evolutionary history as they were among the earliest hominins to walk upright on two legs, a key characteristic that distinguishes humans from other primates. They also showed advancements in tool use and evidence of social behavior, paving the way for the development of more complex societies in later hominin species.

The greatest coexistence between Neanderthals and early modern Homo sapiens likely occurred in Europe, particularly in regions such as the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkans. These areas have yielded evidence of interbreeding between the two hominin species, indicating a period of coexistence and potential interaction.

Gracile Australopithecus, such as Australopithecus afarensis, had a more slender build and smaller molars, suggesting a more varied diet. Robust Australopithecus, like Australopithecus robustus, had a more robust skull and larger molars, indicating a diet of tougher plant foods. These differences reflect adaptations to different ecological niches within early hominin evolution.
