What does the Homo Heidelbergensis look like?

Homo Sapiens, are a species of the Homo genus. There were two subspecies of Homo sapiens, known as "Homo sapiens sapiens" and "Homo sapiens idaltu". The Homo sapiens sapiens are the only surviving species of the entire Homo genus, and are commonly known as humans. The direct ancestor, the Homo sapiens idaltu looked very similar to how modern humans look today. However, as for the general question "What do homo sapiens look like", look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.Homo Sapiens is what we are, so just take a look in the mirror.

What are the types of Homo Sapiens?

The two subspecies are Homo sapiens idaltu (which is thought extinct) and Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) as a subspecies (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis).Similarly, the discovered specimens of the Homo rhodesiensis species have been classified by some as a subspecies (Homo sapiens rhodesiensis), but these last two subspecies classifications are not widely accepted by scientists.


Are human beings a species or a race?

Yes, all humans are Homo sapiens. There's some disagreement over whether Neanderthal Man was a subspecies of Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis), but no reputable biologist would disagree that all modern humans are not only the same species but the same subspecies.


Were all early humans one species?

No, there were many different prehuman species both at different times and living at the same time. Even as late as the last ice ages there were two different species of what could be called "modern humans" living at the same time: Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis and Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Finally the Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis went extinct, leaving only our species Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
