HominidsJasira ZiglarKenneth Cortavarria

General Info Hominins are a group of 20 extinct species

(and humans) All of the remains of Hominids were found in

Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia…) Some “subgroups”:

~ Australopith group: Australopithecus anamensis, Australopithecus africanus~“Homo” group: Homo erectus, Homo georgicus, Homo habilis, Homo Neaderthalenis

Ardipithecus ramidus

Chimpanzees

Neanderthal

Homo Sapiens

Interesting Info Oldest living Hominid lived 6-7 million

years ago (Sahelanthropus tchadensis) Importance to humans: this group helps

us to understand how humans came to be

There was once several species of Hominins living at the same time, but the lineage that led to Homo sapiens sapiens lived on, and the rest died
