The hominid called "upright man" is Homo erectus. This species is known for walking fully upright on two legs, which is a significant evolutionary development in human history.
Homo sapiens are apes, so very close indeed!
Homo sapiens(Modern humans are Homo sapiens sapiens, other subspecies include Homo sapiens idaltu.)
Homo sapiens are humans, characterized by their bipedal posture, large brains, and high level of cognitive abilities. They are part of the primate order within the animal kingdom.
Homo sapiens are not extinct. Homo sapiens are humans. Modern humans, in fact.
Australian aborigines, like all modern human populations, belong to the Homo sapiens sapiens species. Neanderthals were a separate species of hominins that went extinct around 40,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Homo sapiens sapiens faced challenges such as climate change, competition for resources, predation, and the spread of disease. They also had to develop social structures and communication to survive and thrive in different environments.
Scientists believe Orrorin tugenensis is more closely related to Homo sapiens than Australopithecus because of its combination of primitive and advanced features, suggesting it was an early ancestor of the Homo lineage. Orrorin's dental and limb bone characteristics indicate it may have walked upright on two legs like humans, while its mix of ape-like and human-like traits place it closer to the human lineage.
Homo heidelbergensis were early humans who lived approximately 600,000 to 200,000 years ago. They had a large brain size, similar to modern humans, and robust facial features. They were likely tall and had a sturdy build.
Homo sapiens, human species name
The only living species of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens, which includes all modern humans. Other species within the genus Homo, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo habilis, are now extinct.
