The discovery of new skeletal remains of Homo naledi in the Lesedi Chamber, South Africa, adds more evidence to our understanding of the morphology and behavior of this recently discovered species.
Homo habilis, extinct species of human, the most ancient member of the human genus. It inhabited parts of sub-Saharan Africa from roughly 2.4 to 1.5 million years ago. Many of its features appear to be intermediate between the relatively primitive Australopithecus and the more-advanced Homo species.

Evidence from ancient ape-like bipeds suggests the face evolved to minimise damage caused by fighting
Origin of clothing of early hominids & evolutionary purpose of clothing.
…we can visualise the sticks hitting the bass drum on every beat. Imagine if that bass drum was a bucket of water and with each beat you hit its surface. You can already see the splash launching up at you. Sound waves exist in a similar way because they’re caused by collisions (loosely). Specifically, it’s the vibrations from a source that traverses across a medium and consequently prompts every particle within that medium to undergo the same motion.
New proof has emerged attesting to the complexities of human evolution. A new branch of the hominin family tree has been discovered at Callao Cave on the
Fossil finds in China are challenging ideas about the evolution of modern humans and our closest relatives.
If you’re into ancient anthropology, you’ve probably seen a headline or two touting a new discovery about Homo erectus—that laziness may have done them in.
Lucy lived 3.18 million years ago in what's now Ethiopia. An analysis of high-resolution CT scans of her fossilized skeleton shows she was equipped for climbing trees.
Human evolution - Brain Size, Adaptations, Fossils: Because more complete fossil heads than hands are available, it is easier to model increased brain size in parallel with the rich record of artifacts from the Paleolithic Period (c. 3.3 million to 10,000 years ago), popularly known as the Old Stone Age. The Paleolithic preceded the Middle Stone Age, or Mesolithic Period; this nomenclature sometimes causes confusion, as the Paleolithic itself is divided into Early, Middle, and Late (or Upper) periods. Hominin brain expansion tracks so closely with refinements in tool technology that some scholars ignore other factors that may have contributed to the brain’s increasing size, such as
Neanderthals and Denisovans may have endowed modern humans with genetic variants that helped them thrive in new environments.
The Chatelperronian period is usually associated with Neanderthals and bears evidence of some kind of interaction with African newcomers to Europe.
Homo is the genus of hominids that includes modern humans, as well as other species closely related to them... I mean us. The genus is estimated to be about 2.3 to 2.4 million years old and
