Hominids are early ancestors of humans that date back 2-3 million years ago.

A man named Louis Leakey found some bones of Austrolopithicus in Africa in 1970.

Austrolopithicus is the earliest ancestor of humans and were known to be ape-like and didn't know how to control fire They had the brain of a softball. Pronounciation: Aw-stro-low-pith-icuss

Second, is Homo Habilis, it means "upright man" they were know to walk upright like the modern human and control fire.They came after 10,000 years after Austrolopithicus.Their brains were a quarter the size of a modern human. Pronounciation: Homo-Hab-ill-is

Thirdly, is Homo Erectus. They were know to look more like the modern humans, but still had some ape-like features. They were also known to control fire and find out how to make tools. They had a brain half the size of a modern human today. Pronounciation: Homo-Erec-tuss

Finally, is Homo Sapiens, it means "wise man". Everyone today is a Homo Sapien. And has been since about 1 million years ago. They knew how to control fire and make tools and they also invented language and learned that they could reproduce the food they needed with seeds. They appeared in Africa and no one knows how. Pronounciation: Homo- Sape-e-n

All 4 Hominids had just appeared in Africa. no has a clue how. But we'll find out soon.
