A Family Tree: A family tree is basically a map of family relations in it's entirety. It may include marriages, offspring, grand-parents and generations as far back as possible. These days there are many websites that help people to construct an extensive family tree. ...
The fossils exhibit an unforeseen mosaic of so called primitive and derived characteristics which led the scientists to claim that the fossils belonged to a new class of the hominins (belonging to human family tree) who inhabited the island nearly 50,000 to 67,000 years ago. This period ...
“There is a tidal wave of studies coming out now on Australian and Asian genomes and they’re all concluding the same thing – there was a single out–of-Africa movement of modern humans,” says Cooper. “Europeans headed west, and everybody else headed east. And then within Asia, it...
A. The great ape branch of our evolutionary tree that includes the genus Homo and all of its ancestors, including Australopithecus and Paranthropus, but not chimpanzees. Have a 3 or 4 chambered stomach: A. Primates B. Homo sapiens C. Colobines D. Lemurs E. Pan F. Lorises G...
Support for the idea that the fossil represents a new species, but uncertainty over whether it represents a new genus; Mention of several derived features that differentiate it from other early hominins; Why the proposal of a new genus for the fossil is attractive; Implications for our ...
The article discusses early human interbreeding with hominins, examining research on a toe bone found in the Denisova cave in Siberia, Russia. It comments on a group of hominins called the Denisovans. The work of researchers Maria Mednikova at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia...

habilis, and various species of Australopithecus. In addition, many authorities place the genera Ardipithecus, Orrorin, and Kenyanthropus in Hominini. Some characteristics that have distinguished hominins from other primates, living and extinct, are their erect posture, bipedal locomotion, larger brains...
000 years ago. We are now the only living members of what many zoologists refer to as the human tribe,Hominini, but there isabundantfossilevidence to indicate that we were preceded for millions of years by other hominins, such asArdipithecus,Australopithecus, and other species ofHomo, and ...
(e.g., theNeanderthals,H. erectus, and various species ofAustralopithecus); members of the tribe Hominini are frequently referred to ashominins. Other classifications, however, place chimpanzees and bonobos in their own tribe, calledPanini, since they are genetically relatively distant from Gorill...
