Stages of evolution
- 2. Orrorin Tugenensis…. They came before 6 million years on earth and they are by far the most oldest known member of the human family.
- 3. Ardipithecus Ramidus…. They were discovered in December 1992 and probably walked upright. They came before 4.4 million years ago.
- 4. Australopithcus Anamensis.... They came on Earth before 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago. They possess a mix of advanced and primitive traits.
- 5. Australiopithecus Afarensis... They came on Earth before 3.6 to 2.9 million years ago and had a very low forehead with prominent brow ridge.
- 6. Australiopithecus Africanus... They came on Earth before 3 to 2 million years ago and showed marked differences in size between males and females.
- 7. Australiopithecus Aethiopicus They came on Earth before 2.7 to 2.3 million years ago and had a peculiar mixture of primitive and highly derived traits.
- 8. Australiopithecus Garhi… They were here on Earth before 2.5 million years ago and were the earliest known tool holders.
- 9. Australiopithecus Boisei… They came 2.3 to 1.4 million years ago and probably inhabited mixed woodland and savanna habitats.
- 10. Homo Habilis… They came 2.3 to 1.6 million years ago and were called handy man because of the wealth of tools they used.
- 11. Homo Erectus…. They came before 1.8 to 0.3 million years ago. They had large molars, an unpronounced chin and a long skull.
- 12. Australiopithecus Robustus… They had came 1.8 to 1.5 million years ago and had flat and concave faces.
- 13. Homo Heidelbergensis… They came here 6,00,000 to 1,00,000 years ago and their skulls share features with both Erectus and modern Sapiens.
- 14. Homo Neanderthalensis… They came 2,50,000 years to 30,000 years ago on earth and they had a brain just slightly larger than that of modern humans.
- 15. …and the final stage… Homo Sapiens… They came here 1,00,000 years ago to present. They have a large brain size, a forehead that rises sharply, very small eyebrow ridges, a prominent chin and lighter bone structure. They also included for making clothing, engravings a sculptures and a fine artwork.
