Australopithecus afarensis
The most famous member of this
species is Lucy, an adult female
skeleton discovered in 1974 and
nicknamed after a Beatles song.
Lucy lived about 3.18 million years
ago and was fully capable of walking
and running on two legs.

Australopithecus africanus
in Southern Africa between 2 early

facial features were more human-

Paranthropus aethiopicus
This early ape-like hominid walked
on two legs and lived between 2.8
million and 2.2 million years ago.
Based on skull measurements,
scientists concluded this species had
the smallest adult hominid brain ever
discovered.

Paranthropus bosei
If P. bosei and its relatives weren't
such picky eaters, we might not
be here to wonder about them.
They split from the line leading to
modern human some 2 million
years ago and lived alongside our
ancestors for millions of years,
but died out after failing to adapt
their diets.

Homo habilis
Many scientists believe H. habilis is
the missing link between the ape-like
hominids like Lucy and the more
human-like ones that came after. It
had long ape-like arms but walked
on two feet and was capable of
creating crude tools.

Homo ergaster
Scientists can't decide whether
this African hominid is just a failed
predecessor of H. erectus or the
rightful ancestor of modern
humans. It had a thinner skull
than H. erectus and was more
proficient at making tools and
using fire.

Homo erectus
For H. erectus, it may have paid to
be dense. According to one theory,
males rammed each other with their
thick skulls in order to win females.
H. erectus is generally believed to be
the direct ancestor of modern
humans and also the first hominid
to live in caves and tame fire.

Homo floresiensis
It turns out those Floresians were
actually on to something. For
centuries, their mythology
described a race of very small
human-like creatures called the
Ebu Gogo. Hardly anyone took
them seriously, however, until
2003, when word broke that a
new species of diminutive
hominids was discovered on the
Indonesian island.

Cro-Magnon
These people looked identical to
modern humans and lived in Europe
between 35,000 and 10,000 years
ago. Their cave paintings and
sculptures are the earliest known
examples of art by a prehistoric
people.

Neanderthal
Stocky and squat and well suited
for the cold, Neanderthals looked
distinctly different from modern
humans. But they were like us in
other ways: they buried their
dead, cared for their sick and
injured and may have been
capable of language and music.
Scientists recently put together a
complete Neanderthal skeleton
and are working on the genome.
