	Hominid Species
		Homo habilis and all the australopithecines are found only in Africa, but erectus was wide-ranging, and has been found in Africa, Asia, and Europe.
		Homo antecessor was named in 1977 from fossils found at the Spanish cave site of Atapuerca, dated to at least 780,000 years ago, making them the oldest confirmed European hominids.
		Homo floresiensis was discovered on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003.

		Homo heidelbergensis -- Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man) is an extinct species of the genus Homo and the thought to be a direct ancestor of Homo neanderthalensis in Europe.
		Homo erectus -- Homo erectus ("upright man") is a hominin species that is believed to be an ancestor of modern humans (with Homo heidelbergensis usually treated as an intermediary step).
		Homo habilis -- Homo habilis ("handy man", "skillful person") is a species of the genus Homo, which lived from approximately 2.5 million to 1.8 million years ago at the beginning of the Pleistocene.

	Homo georgicus
		Homo georgicus is a species of hominin that was suggested in 2002 to describe fossil skulls and jaws found in Dmanisi, Georgia in 1999 and 2001, which seem intermediate between Homo habilis and H.
		At first, scientists thought they had found thirty or so skulls belonging to Homo ergaster, but size differences led them to consider erecting a new species, Homo georgicus, which would be the descendant of Homo habilis and ancestor of Asian Homo erectus.
		In Georgia the specimens with a brain half the size compared to modern Homo sapiens were considered the smallest until the discovery of Homo floresiensis from the island of Flores.

		Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and their close relatives.
		Homo neanderthalensis, traditionally considered the last surviving relative, died out 30,000 years ago while recent evidence suggests that Homo floresiensis lived as recently as 12,000 years ago.
		Through that species, Homo is next most closely related to the group of extinct species in the genera Paranthropus and Australopithecus, whose evolutionary branch split off from the proto-Homo line some 5 million years ago.

		Homo habilis is thought to be the ancestor of the lankier and more sophisticated, Homo ergaster, which in turn gave rise to the more human appearing species, Homo erectus.
		Homo erectus would bear a striking resemblance to modern humans, but had a brain about 74 percent of the size of modern man. Its forehead is less sloping and the teeth are smaller.

		It has always been thought that the first hominid to leave Africa was Homo erectus (or ergaster), and that this had happened after erectus had attained the modern body shape and full adaptation to bipedality shown in the Turkana Boy fossil.
		The largest, D2280, resembles but is a bit smaller (780 cc) than Homo erectus fossils such as the Turkana Boy and ER 3733.

	Hominid Chronology
		This species evolved from either Homo rudolfensis or Homo habilis during an accelerated period of global cooling and drying that cleared more and more tropical rainforest from Africa and regularly created a desert in the northern half of the continent.
		Homo erectus quickly spread further east to the emergent Sunda continental shelf off East Asia’s present south coast, before rising sea levels cut the shelf into a series of islands of which the modern Indonesian island of Java is the southernmost.
		Homo erectus shared these bamboo forests with pigs, a type of elephant called Stegodon and the biggest primate that has ever lived: the giant vegetarian ape Gigantopithecus - a cousin of the earlier Ramapithecus.

		Homo habilis was short and had disproportionately long arms compared to modern humans, however it had a reduction in the protrusion in the face.
		Homo erectus would bear a striking resemblance to modern humans, only having a brain about 75 percent of the size of that of a modern human's.
		However, Homo erectus was almost the same size as modern humans, while these individuals are all remarkable for their small stature (less than 3.5 feet tall).

	Toba Volcano, ch.5 - Human evolution
		Homo sapiens is known as the "naked ape": at some stage in our evolutionary journey, our ancestors shed their fur, something none of the apes have done.
		Nevertheless, its similarities with Homo erectus strongly suggest a phylogenetic connection, although its australopithecine-like brain/body size ratio and morphology of the femur and pelvis are not expected in a miniaturized descendant of a larger-bodied Homo erectus (which, instead, would be expected to scale allometrically along the ontogenetic curve predicted for Homo erectus).
		Homo floresiensis was an obligatory biped, the thickness and proportion of the skull, shape of the teeth, flexion evident at the skull base, are all traits of the genus Homo.

		Homo erectus, on the other hand, is usually associated with more crudely made stone tools, but we have no erectus tools at the cave site (Liang Bua) for direct comparison.
		By contrast, Homo floresiensis is an entirely new species of human, which differs in a great many ways from us, so the only similarity between other reports of "small folk" and Homo floresiensis is the short stature—there are almost no other points of agreement.
		Homo sapiens and Homo floresiensis must have shared a common ancestor at some point in the past (as we are in the same genus), but this point in time is likely to have been two to three million years ago, maybe more, and in the African continent.

		The researchers say they are now more convinced than ever that Homo floresiensis represents a distinct species and not some diseased individual of modern human (Homo sapiens) as some sceptics have suggested.
		Zimmer speculates that instead of Homo floresiensis having evolved from Homo erectus (the mainstream theory), they might have evolved from early Homo sapiens, or from australopithecines.

		Data for Australopithecus and early Homo are from ref. 49.
		Although neurological organization is at least as important as EQ in determining behavioural complexity, these data are consistent with H. floresiensis being the Pleistocene toolmaker at Liang Bua.
		On a related point, the survival of H. floresiensis into the Late Pleistocene shows that the genus Homo is morphologically more varied and flexible in its adaptive responses than is generally recognized.

	Athena Review 4,1: Introduction to Homo erectus
		Discovery of the first Homo erectus specimen in southeast Asia was directly inspired by the 19th century “missing link” concept of a bipedal “ape-man” who combined traits of today’s humans and apes (box 1, The Discovery of "Java Man" in 1891).
		An even earlier Homo erectus fossil of a child’s skull was recovered by von Koenigswald in 1936 in the east Javan village of Perning near Mojokerto, 180 km east of Sangiran on the Brantus River.
		Based on this recent dating, the earliest Homo erectus groups settled in Java by 1.8-1.6 mya around coastal deltaic swamps and lakes at the south end of the Sunda shelf, associated with the Sangiran formation and the Ci Saat fauna (including the large carnivore Panthera and bovids such as deer and hippopotami).
