	Hominid Chronology
		Homo sapiens had a characteristic look: their faces were (and of course still are) small and tucked under a high, domed braincase.
		Homo erectus may have arrived on Flores about one million years ago, evolving its tiny physique in the isolation provided by the island in response to the local scarcity of resources (later influxes of Homo sapiens appear to have evolved in the same way).
		Homo sapiens reached the area by 50,000 years ago, but the last evidence of this hominid at Liang Bua dates to just before 12,000 years ago, when a volcanic eruption snuffed out much of Flores' unique wildlife, although there are hints that floresiensis could have lived on much later than this.

	Homo sapiens idaltu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Homo sapiens idaltu (roughly translated as "elderly wise man") is an extinct subspecies of Homo sapiens that lived almost 160,000 years ago in Pleistocene Africa.
		The name idaltu is an Amharic word for "elder".
		These specimens are likely to represent the direct ancestors of modern Homo sapiens sapiens thought to have originally evolved in Eastern Africa.

	Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Human beings are classified as the species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man"): a bipedal primate of the superfamily Hominoidea, together with the other apes—chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.
		Homo sapiens displaced groups such as Neanderthals and Homo floresiensis through more successful reproduction and competition for resources, and/or extermination.
		Biologically, humans are defined as hominids of the species Homo sapiens, of which the only extant subspecies is Homo sapiens sapiens (Latin for "very wise man"); Homo sapiens idaltu (roughly translated as "elderly wise man") is the extinct subspecies.

	Herto skulls (Homo sapiens idaltu)
		The discoverers have assigned them to a new subspecies, Homo sapiens idaltu, and say that they are anatomically and chronologically intermediate between older archaic humans and more recent fully modern humans.
		Their age and anatomy is cited as strong evidence for the emergence of modern humans from Africa, and against the multiregional theory which argues that modern humans evolved in many places around the world.

	Homo (genus) - Psychology Wiki
		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.

	Hominid Chronology
		Evolved from Homo heidelbergensis, neanderthalis' brain size was 12% larger than that of modern humans and they relied on a heavy meat diet.
		It was a complete cranium that was very robust, with large brow ridges and a receding forehead, similar to Homo neanderthalis, but with a cranium intermediate between advanced Homo sapiens and Neanderthal.
		Homo sapiens idaltu (idaltu means 'elder') had begun to appear by this time.

		Humans (Homo sapiens) are a species of hominid and the only surviving species of the genus Homo.
		Homo neanderthalensis, Homo erectus) were also adept tool makers and there is some evidence that theymay have had linguistic skills.
		While humans have all these characteristics, from the biological viewpoint the question "What single characteristicdistinguishes humans from all other animals?" is an odd one: it is not a question that is usually asked of cats, dolphins, or song sparrows.

		The most widely accepted view among current anthropologists is that Homo sapiens originated in the African savanna between 100,000 and 250,000 years ago, descending from Homo erectus, and colonized Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 years ago, and finally colonized the Americas by 10,000 years ago.
		Early Homo sapiens employed a "hunter-gatherer" methodology as their primary means of food collection, involving combining stationary plant and fungal food sources (such as fruits, grains, tubers, and mushrooms) with wild game which must be hunted and killed in order to be consumed.
		Many sexologists believe that the majority of homo sapiens have the inherent capacity to be attracted to both males and females (a kind of universal potential bisexuality).

		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.
		Whether Homo sapiens actively used his technological edge to push Neanderthal and others into extinction is unknown, but in view of the way Homo sapiens has treated members of his own species from antiquity to the present day, it is not totally unthinkable that he did.
		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.

	Reasons To Believe: Ethiopian Hominid No Threat to Origins Model
		The distinction between Adam and Eve’s descendants (Homo sapiens sapiens, or anatomically and behaviorally “modern” humans) and the hominids in the fossil record is not just morphological, but also behavioral.
		The researchers also reported that the idaltu crania evidenced modifications that suggested they were defleshed after death—behavior that reflects some level of intelligence, but not at a level exclusive to modern humans[8].
		Homo sapiens idaltu stands as anatomically and behaviorally distinct from modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens), and dates older than Neanderthal.

	Re: Human-chimp hybridization
		H. heidelbergensis is thought to have been the antecessor of Homo neanderthalensis (250k years bp), and H. egaster was the antecessor of H. heidelbergensis (750k years bp in Africa).
		Sapiens "cro magnon" is considered by many to be the first gracile subspecies of man in Europe, and is thought to have derived from Homo sapiens idaltu from Africa about 160k years bp.
		It is debated whether Homo sapiens idaltu derived directly from H. erectus or from H. egaster (most researchers believe from H. erectus).

		Homo sapiens idaltu was a nonhuman bipedal primate that is anatomically distinct from modern humans and behaviorally distinct as well.
		(We consider Homo sapiens sapiens to be the descendents of Adam and Eve.) The term Homo sapiens refers to the assemblage of hominids that existed between roughly 500,000 years ago (after Homo erectus went extinct) through modern humans.

	Paleoanthropology
		The earliest taxon to satisfy the criteria is Homo ergaster, or early African Homo erectus, which currently appears in the fossil record at about 1.9 million years ago [see the May 2000 announcement of finds of hominids classified as Homo ergaster in the republic of Georgia, the oldest outside of Africa].
		Homo ergaster is believed to have originated in Africa and to have given rise to H. erectus in Asia.
		Note that Wolpert argues the remains are of homo sapiens, not erectus; this controversy is tied to the multiregional hypothesis (below).

		Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin: "wise man" or "knowing man") in the family Hominidae (the great apes).
		This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only known species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies.
		The closest living relatives of Homo sapiens are the two species of chimpanzee: the Bonobo (Pan paniscus) and the Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes).

	Idaltu, father of us all?: Sci-Tech: News: News24
		The earliest remains of Homo sapiens sapiens, found in South Africa, Ethiopia and the Middle East, have been dated to around 100 000 years ago.
		One of them: fine, precise cuts on the skulls inflicted by a stone tool, which suggests that, after their death, the two adults and the child were stripped of their faces, muscles and other tissues, and their skulls were repeatedly handled, leaving a deep polish on their sides.
		The Idaltu fossils came from the village of Herto, on the floor of the Afar rift valley, near the shore of what was a shallow, freshwater lake.

		It is said Homo sapiens idaltu is a direct predecessor of modern humans, yet he is considered to be so different from us that he is described as a subspecies of the modern homo sapiens.
		Idaltu is just one of a number of specimens of early "modern" human.
		The problem here(and I'm not necessarily defending Askur), is that idaltu is being touted as a "subspecies" of H.sapiens. I think there is a fair amount of "politics" going on here, because often, what constitutes a "species" or a "subspecies" is basically a judgment call on the part of the people who assign the categories.

		Homo sapiens, or "wise man." This 30,000 year-old-fossil from France shows the modern traits of a high, rounded cranial cavity; lack of brow ridge; and forehead, eyes, nose and jaw on a nearly vertical plane.
		Homo habilis, which actually means "handy man," may have been the first species to make and use primitive stone tools.
		Homo sapiens living about 40,000 years ago made elaborate tools out of bone, antler, ivory, stone and wood, and produced artwork in the form of carvings and cave paintings.

	Natuurinformatie - Homo sapiens idaltu: nieuwe ondersoort?
		De auteurs geven Homo sapiens idaltu een evolutionaire positie tussen Homo rhodesiensis van zo'n 600.000 tot 300.000 jaar oud en fossiele vormen van de moderne mens, Homo sapiens sapiens, van zo'n 100.000 jaar geleden.
		Zo hebben we onze eigen soortnaam Homo sapiens te danken aan Linnaeus (1758).
		Het gegoochel met soort- en ondersoortnamen is niet beperkt tot nu nog levende organismen maar wordt in beperkte mate ook gebruikt voor uitgestorven fossiele vormen, inclusief de mensachtigen.

	HUMAN FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Biologically, humans are classified as the species ''Homo sapiens'' (Latin for "wise man"): a bipedal primate of the superfamily Hominoidea, together with the other apes—chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons.
		Under this classification, neaderthals are ''Homo neanderthalensis'' and modern humans are ''Homo sapiens''.
		From a scientific viewpoint, ''Homo sapiens'' certainly is among the most generalised species on Earth, and few single species occupy as many diverse environments as humans.
