    Hominids first evolved around 2.3-2.4 million years ago with the appearance of Homo habilis in East Africa. Homo habilis were the first hominids to create stone tools. Homo erectus later evolved around 1.6 million years ago in Africa and were the first hominids to migrate out of Africa to Europe and Asia. Homo sapiens evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago and developed full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago, replacing the Neanderthals who had lived in Europe and Asia until around 50,000 years ago. Modern humans are the only surviving hominid species.

    EVOLUTION

    OF MAN
    INTRODUCTION
    Hominid - refers to members of
    the human family, Hominidae,
    which consist of all species from
    the point where the human line
    splits from apes towards present
    day humans.
    HOMO SPECIES
     It is the genus that includes modern humans and
    species closely related to them.

     The genus is estimated to be about 2.3 to 2.4 million


    years old evolving from australopithecine ancestors
    with the appearance of Homo habilis.

     All species of the genus except Homo sapiens


    (modern humans) are extinct.
    HOMO
    HABILIS
    • “Man of Skills”
    • Found in East Africa
    • Created stone tools
     First appeared around 2.5
    million years ago at the
    beginning of the Pleistocene
    period.

     Fossils were first discovered


    in Tanzania, East Africa
    between 1962 and 1964.

     Named by Louis Leakey,


    Phillip Tobias, and John
    Napier.
    CHARACTERISTICS
    • Handy man/ tool user hominid.
    • Bipedal, larger cranial capacity
    (700 cc) than australopithecines
    (500 cc).
    • An “apelike” (long arms and a
    small body) body structure was
    characteristic of the Homo
    Habilis.
    HOMO
    ERECTUS
    • “Upright Human Being”
    • Larger and more varied tools
    --> primitive technology.
    • First hominid migrate and
    leave Africa to Europe and
    Asia.
    • First to use fire ( 500,000 BCE )
    • BIPEDALISM
     Extinct species of hominid that
    originated in Africa and is the first
    species which move out of Africa.

     Lived
    about 1.6
    million
    years ago
    to around
    400,000
    years ago.

     It was first discovered in


    1891 by Dr. Eugene Dubois.
    CHARACTERISTICS
    • Systematic hunting and ‘home base
    camps’ for living.
    • Systematic tool-making.
    • Controlled fire for cooking food and
    other purposes.
    • Sexual dimorphism.
    • Relatively greater cranial capacity
    (800 - 1300 cc)
    • Orthognathic
    • Dental size reduction.
    • Greater body size
    HOMO
    SAPIENS
    Neanderthals Cro-Magnons

    • “Wise Human Being”


    • Neander valley,
    German(1856)

    • Made clothes
    from animal skins

    • Live in caves and


    tents.
    CHARACTERISTICS
    • Short build dominated by
    enormous noses.
    • Barrel-shaped chest.
    • Slightly bent thigh bones.
    • Stronger fingers and toes.
    • Severe arthritis
    • Worn teeth
    • Fractures like rodeo riders
    • Large brain (average 1400
    cc, up to 1750 cc)
    • Low forehead
    Homo Sapiens
    Sapiens

    “Wise, wise human”


    By 30,000 BCE they
    replaced
    Homo neanderthalensis
    • Extinct member of
    the genus Homo.
    • Lived around
    50,000 years ago .
    • Found in Europe
    and parts of
    western and
    Central Asia.
    HOMO
    SAPIENS
    • Only living species in the Homo
    genus.
    • Anatomically modern humans
    originated in Africa about
    200,000 years ago, reaching full
    behavioural modernity around
    50,000 years ago.
    CHARACTERISTICS
    • Skulls were slightly rounder and larger.
    • Forehead rises vertically above the eye orbits
    and does not slope as in Neanderthal.
    • Brow ridges are small.
    • Orthognathic face with a strong chin
    • Teeth and jaws were noticeably smaller as
    compared to other previous species.
    • Brain capacity averaged an impressive 1,350
    • Bipedal locomotion.
