Many fossils are found in
Sedimentary Rocks

more apelike
(ours is more V-shaped)

years old

A. robustus …Discovered by 1994 at the Drimolen cave in South Africa. Estimated age is between 1.5 and 2.0 million
years. This is an almost complete skull and lower jaw of a female, one of the most complete hominid skulls ever found.
A fossil of a male robustus lower jaw, nicknamed Orpheus was found a few inches away

Homo habilus….Tanzania
![Page 19: Hominid Evolution Some early common ancestors of Homo sapiens (modern humans)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551a26a4550346cb358b4cb6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
“The Handy Man”(Homo habilus)
Use of simple stone tools
Brain size….600cc
1.8 million years ago

Homo ergaster…..Kenya
![Page 22: Hominid Evolution Some early common ancestors of Homo sapiens (modern humans)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551a26a4550346cb358b4cb6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Homo erectus
200,000—1 million years ago
Brain Size….1000cc
Large Browridge
![Page 23: Hominid Evolution Some early common ancestors of Homo sapiens (modern humans)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551a26a4550346cb358b4cb6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Homo erectus (maybe H.ergaster?)
• Found 1984
• Kenya
• 9-11 yr. old boy?
• Brain 880cc
• Adult 910cc• The most striking is that the holes in his vertebrae,
through which the spinal cord goes, have only about half the cross-sectional area found in modern humans. One suggested explanation for this is that the boy lacked the fine motor control we have in the thorax to control speech, implying that he wasn't nearly as
fluent a speaker as modern humans are.

Teeth similar to ours…but a bit
larger
Use of FIRE and tools

Homo neanderthalis
![Page 26: Hominid Evolution Some early common ancestors of Homo sapiens (modern humans)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551a26a4550346cb358b4cb6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Neanderthals……….Short, strong body
Large rounded nasal opening
Adapted to cold climates of the
Pleistocene Ice Age
30,000-200,000 years agoSome remains found in graves with
flowers???
![Page 27: Hominid Evolution Some early common ancestors of Homo sapiens (modern humans)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551a26a4550346cb358b4cb6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Old man neanderthal skull (30-40 years old at death had a healed broken rib, severe arthritis of the hip, lower neck, back and shoulders, and had lost most of his molar
teeth. The fact that he survived as long as he did indicates that Neanderthals must have
had a complex social structure. ~50, 000 years old
