3. HOMINID
• Hominid – the group consisting of all
modern and extinct Great Apes (that
is, modern humans, chimpanzees,
gorillas and orang-utans plus all their
immediate ancestors).

4. 4 types of Hominid
1. Sahelanthropus
2. Ardipithecus
3. Australeupithecus
4. Homo

5. Sahelanthropus
• Also known as Sahelanthropus tchadensis is one
of the oldest known species in the human family
tree. This species lived sometime between 7 and
6 million years ago in West-Central Africa. Their
height is almost the same as chimpanzee and
their brain size is about 320 to 380 cubic
centimeters.

6. Sahelanthropus

7. Ardipithecus
• Ardipithecus family have 2 species
1. Kadabba- Existed 5.6 million years ago
2. Ramidus- Existed about 4.4 million years ago
• Ardipithecus “ape on ground” was a facultative biped and
stood upright on the ground but could move on all four
limbs in trees.
• Height- 4 feet/120 cm
• Weight- 120 pounds/55kg

8. Ardipithecus

9. Australopithecus
• AKA “southern ape” they existed in africa about 5
million to 1 million years ago.
• Brain size- 500 cubic centimeters
• This species was bipedal (able to walk on two
legs)
• Tool users but not tool makers.
• They can not create their own tools.

10. Australopithecus

11. Australopithecus
• Australopithecus have 2 major type and under the major type
there are 6 species
1. Gracile Australopithecine- small teeth and jaw
• Australopithecus anamesis
• Australopithecus afarensis
• Australopithecus africanus

12. Gracile Australopithecine

13. Australopithecus
2. Australopithecus Robust- larger teeth and jaw and they are
highly muscular
• Australopithecus aethiopicus
• Australopithecus robustus
• Australopithecus boisei

14. Australopithecus Robust

15. HOMO
• The homo first lived in
Africa and they were
bipedal.
1. Homo habilis
2. Homo ergaster
3. Homo rudolfensis
4. Homo erectus
5. Homo heidelbergenesis
6. Homo floresiensis
7. Homo sapiens
8. Homo
neanderthalensis
9. Homo sapiens
sapiens

16. Homo Habilis
• Species with a brain of a Broca’s area which is
associated with speech in modern humans and
was the first to make stone tools.
• Homo habilis The ability to make and use tools is a
unique quality to humans such that the species is
recognized to be the first true human. The species
name means “ Handy Man.” Lived about 2.
• to1.4 million years ago scavenging for food.

17. Homo Habilis

18. Homo Ergaster
• Homo ergaster is an extinct species. Lived in
Africa. It existed 1.8 million years ago.

19. Homo Ergaster

20. • Species characterized by a longer face, larger
molar andpremolar teeth, and having a larger
braincase compared tohabilis particularly larger
frontal lobes, areas of the brain thatprocesses
information.
• The species lived about 1.9 to 1.8 million years
ago.
Homo Rudolfensis

21. Homo Rudolfensis

22. HOMO ERECTUS
• The species name means "Upright Man" with body
proportions similar to that of modern human.Homo
erectus
• Lived 1.89 to 143, 000 years ago; adapted to hot
climates and mostly spread in Africa and Asia.
• They were the first hunters with improvised tools
such as axesand knives, and were the first to
introduce fire..
