AnswerThere may once have been a total gap in our knowledge of those hominids who lived between 3 and 2 million years ago, but this is no longer the case.From the fossil record, AustraIopithecus afarensis is now known to have lived between 4 and 2.5 million years ago.Australopithecus africanus lived between 3 and 1 million years ago.Australopithecus robustus is now known to have lived between 2.5 and 1.5 million years ago.Australopithecus boisei lived between 2.5 and 1 million years ago.Homo habilis also lived between 2.5 and 1.5 million years ago.No doubt, further discoveries will continue to fill out this picture, but there is already a wealth of information about the early hominids who lived between 3 and 2 million years ago.
Mary and Louis Leakey were palaeontologists responsible for the discovery of many fossils of early hominids. They are most well known for their discoveries of early human ancestors. Noteworthy British Archaeologists and Anthropologists in Africa.
Human evolution is necessarily part of the overall evolution of species, since without evolution of species there could be no evolution of humans. On the other hand, from a religious perspective, evolution could be true for lesser species, but not humans. In fact this was a nineteenth century proposition, because its proponents believed that God created man in his image. This proposition no longer has significant support and those who deny the fact of human evolution seek to disprove evolution altogether.Although we may not be able to say who first defined evolution as the means by which new species arise, we do know that early pioneers of evolution theories include Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Lamarck. Charles Darwin (1809-1892) was the first to recognise the role of natural selection in evolution. He defined the process by which evolution occurs as being natural selection, in his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.If we look at the other primates, we can see that the great apes are similar in some ways to humans, and similar in other ways to monkeys. In fact, scientists are able to say that humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor some seven million years ago. Fossil evidence is inconclusive in proving this link, but it can be shown from DNA analysis of modern chimpanzees and humans.Or species is known as Homo sapiens. Current theories say that we evolved from our immediate ancestors, Homo erectusin Africa some 200,000 years ago. However, recent finds of Homo erectus in Asia reopen the possibility that the evolution of Homo sapiens may have been to some extent multi-regional.Neanderthal man was a close relation to modern humans, and occupied parts of Europe and western Asia from abour 220,000 years ago until perhaps 30,000 years ago, co-existing with modern humans for some of that time. They were at once believed to be a subspecies of Homo sapiens, but most scientists now believe that they were a distinct species. Scientists also dispute whether the Neanderthals may have interbred with modern humans, and whether any offspring would have been fertile.The probable ancestor of Homo erectus is Homo habilis, an even more ancient human species that lived about 2 million to 1.5 million years ago in Africa.Earlier species that may have been our ancestors, or were at least related to our ancestors include Australopithecus boisei. Australopithecus robustus, Australopithecus africanus, AustraIopithecus afarensis, Kenyanthropus platyops, Orrorin tugenensis, Ramapithecus and Sahelanthropus tchadensis. Sahelanthropus tchadensislived seven million years ago.
Homo habilis and Homo erectus are thought to have coexisted with Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus boisei.
Australopithecus boisei and Australopithecus robustus are two different species of Australopithecines that lived around the same time. A. boisei lived 1.4 to 2.25 million years ago while A. robustus lived 1.5 to 2 m.y.a. It is believed by most paleoanthropologists that their genetic lines died out and they did not leave any evolutionary descendants.
Australopithecus robustus and A. boisei likely went extinct around 1.2 million years ago with the arrival of more advanced hominins like Homo erectus. The shift in environmental conditions and competition for resources may have contributed to their decline and eventual extinction.
Australopithecus boisei lived alongside other hominids such as Paranthropus robustus and early Homo species like Homo habilis. They all coexisted in East Africa during the early Pleistocene epoch.
Australopithecus is a latin name.Australopithecus literally means "southern ape". "Austral" southern or South from Latin and "pithecus" from "pithēkos" meaning "ape" in greek. The name now applies to many different species besides africanus including Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus afarensis, Australopithecus garhi, Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus sediba.
False, there are many transitional forms in the fossil record. Osteolepis Eusthenopteron Panderichthys Tiktaalik Elginerpeton Obruchevichthys Ventastega Acanthostega Ichthyostega Hynerpeton Tulerpeton Pederpes Eryops Pedopenna Anchiornis Archaeopteryx Confuciusornis Ardipithecus ramidus Australopithecus afarensis Australopithecus africanus Australopithecus anamensis Australopithecus garhi Australopithecus aethiopicus Australopithecus boisei Australopithecus robustus Homo habilis Homo rudolfensis To name a few.
The Australopithecus boisei people are thought to have lived in Eastern Africa millions of years ago. The fossil found from this species was found in Tanzania.
[] It was 10%larger than Africanus
hahaha that's an easy one What is it ........
AnswerThe idea of an "ape person" is a scientific nonsense (unless we are talking about Tarzan). Perhaps the question is about the scientific names given to some of our more primitive ancestors, who shared some obvious features with primitive apes.Australopithecus was an early genus, with three known species - Australopithecus boisei, Australopithecus robustus and Australopithecus africanus.Perhaps the oldest, and therefore most ape-like species in our ancestry is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, who lived up to seven million years ago.
Australopithecus boisei existed in East Africa, with fossils being found in countries like Kenya and Tanzania. They lived approximately 2.3 to 1.2 million years ago and are known for their robust skull structure and large molars adapted for chewing tough plant material.
from the song "lucy in the sky with diamonds".. this is right but the story behind the naming was incomplete. Don Johanson was closely examining the remains when he got that clue that it was a female bone. The song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was gently playing while Johanson is sipping through a bottle of beer. ( Source : Reader's Digest, 1983)
