1. The document discusses the evolution of different human species from Homo habilis to Homo sapiens sapiens.
2. It describes the key characteristics of 7 human species such as Homo habilis being the first to make stone tools, Homo erectus being the first hunters and to control fire, and Homo sapiens sapiens being anatomically modern humans.
3. The last sections compare Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, noting that Neanderthals were adapted to cold climates while Homo sapiens sapiens were characterized by producing art and decorated tools.

HUMAN ORIGINS LOOKING AT EVOLUTIONS AS MAN’S LINEAR PROGRESSION
Evolution is a natural process of biological changes occurring in a population
across successive generations Evolution of man became an important concern in the emergence of different societies DIFFERENT HUMAN SPECIES AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS 1.HOMO HABILIS- Species with a brain of a Broca's area which is associated with speech in modern humans and was the first to make stone tools. The ability to make and use tools is a unique quality to humans such that the species is recognized to be the first true human. The species name means "Handy Man." Lived about 2.4 to 1.4 million years ago scavenging for food. 2. HOMO RUDOLFENSIS- Species characterized by a longer face, larger molar and premolar teeth, and having a larger braincase compared to habilis particularly larger frontal lobes, areas of the brain that processes information. The species lived about 1.9 ton 1.8 million years ago. 3.HOMO ERECTUS- The species name means "Upright Man" with body proportions similar to that of modern humans. Lived 1.89 to 143,000 years ago; adapted to hot climates and mostly spread in Africa and Asia. They were the first hunters with improvised tools such as axes and knives, and were the first to produce fire. 4.HOMO HEIDELBERGENSIS- Species with large brow ridge and short wide bodies that lived about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago in Europe and Africa. They were the first of early human species to live in colder climates, first to hunt large animals on routine basis using spears, and first to construct human shelters.. HEIGHT: Male heidelbergensis averaged about 5 feet 9 inches tall (175 cm) and 136 pounds (62 kg) 5. HOMO FLORESIENSIS- Species nicknamed "Hobbit" due to their small stature with a height of more or less 3 feet and lived 95,000 to 17000 years ago in the island of Flores, Indonesia along with other dwarfed animal species. 6. HOMO SAPIENS- The species name means "Wise Man" that appeared form 200,000 years ago. The present human race belongs to this species. Height: Males were 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet tall (1.6-1.8 m.) That was 4-12 inches (10-31 cm.) taller than Neandertals. 7. HOMO SAPIENS NEANDERTHALENSIS- Sub-spieces with short yet stocky in body build adapted to winter climates especially in icy cold places in Europe and Asia. The subspecies, also known as "Neanderthal Man," is the closest relative of modern humans. The first to practice burial of their dead, hunting and gathering food, and sewing clothes from animal skin using bone needles. They lived about 200,00 to 28,000 years ago. Who had a skeleton that looked anatomically modern…
8. HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS- Subspecies known as Cro-Magnon characterized to
be anatomically modern humans and lived in the last Ice Age of Europe from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago. They were the first to produce art in cave paintings and crafting decorated tools and accessories.
