The five groups of early humans are Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. These groups evolved over time and shared common ancestors, with Homo sapiens being the only surviving group.


Why are Australopithecus Homo habilis and Homo erectus are different from Homo sapiens?

. Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus are different from Homo sapiens because the Homo sapiens have a larger brain mass and larger skull structure. The modern human today is related to the early homo sapiens but back then they where a lot shorter and more robust than we are today. And the Australopithecus africanus, Homo erectus and Homo habilis where they had ape like brains but human like jaws and were bipedal.


How is the species Homo Sapiens different from earlier hominids?

The brain is larger in Homo Sapiens Sapiens than in all earlier hominids except the neanderthal (Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis), and we are possibly the first to use a large portion of our brains for art instead of just survival skills.
