Homo erectus takes a journey
Australopithicus afarensis: The story of Lucy
•Australopithicus afarensis lived from approximately 4 to
2.7 million years ago along the northern Rift valley of east
Africa, and perhaps even earlier
•Aproximately 300 individuals have been found
•Walked upright with longer arms
•Lived in social groups but no evidence of tool use or fire
Australopthicus africanus, or "Southern Ape of Africa."
•This speciman of a child, often called the "Taung Baby,”
• 3 to 2 million years ago
• Some of the permanent teeth are not yet descended, suggesting an
age of about 8 years at the time of death.
•An imprint of the brain case is preserved in limestone, and the
foramen magnum, the opening in the skull through which the spinal
cord attaches to the brain, indicates that this creature walked upright
like human beings
Australopithicus robustus: A contemporary of early human species
•These australopithicines (ape species) are small brained (about 400 cc)
compared to human species contemporaneous with them, and they are not
regarded as ancestral to human beings,.
•Their huge teeth and skulls, often with prominent dorsal crests to which large
jaw muscles attached, show that they specialized in eating tough plant material.
They were apparently vegetarians, while our ancestors evolved as omnivores
with a taste for meat.
•2 million to 1 million years ago
Homo habilis: The first human species
•Existed from approximately 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago in east Africa.
•Exhibit a clear trend toward larger brain size.
•H. habilis brains are about 30% larger than those of A. africanus.
•Males were much larger than females, as shown by the two skulls at far right. The
male is pictured on the left. Sexual dimorphism in early Hominid species expressed
itself in significant size differences.
•Likely used tools
Homo erectus: The first large-brained humans
•Homo erectus lived from approximately 2 million to around 400,000
years ago.
•Homo erectus is a large brained species, with adult brains ranging from
900 to 1200 cc. This size range means that the larger brained individuals
of this species exhibit a fifty-percent increase in brain size over the older
Homo habilis.
•a teen-age boy, 12 or 13, who lived 1.65 million years ago
Homo erectus: Tool use and adaptation to the environment
•Homo erectus was an accomplished tool maker and tool user;
•hand-axes
•Wooden tools and weapon.
•The first species to use and control fire about 1 to l.5 million years ago

Homo sapiens neandertalensis: reconsideration of human origins
•a robust human species occupying Europe and western Asia from
approximately 135,000 to 30,000 years ago.
•Neanderthal remains appear primitive and crude
•Their arm and leg bones were approximately twice as thick as ours
•Otherwise, their bodies are strikingly modern.
•Their average brain capacity (1400-1500 cc) actually exceeds that
of modern humans
•The speech areas of the Neanderthal brain are not as developed as
ours and the forebrain is smaller.
•The Neanderthal were the first humans to live in Ice Age conditions
•Simple tool kit did not change much
