Primate Classification Primates – monkeys, lemurs, gorillas, chimps, humans, etc.

Primates cont. Family Hominoidea (hominid)– great apes (gorilla, orangutans, chimps & bonobos), humans (living and extinct) Hominins – chimps, bonobos, and humans (living and extinct) Genus Homo – the humans

Primates hair or fur warm-blooded live young suckle infant dependence social life play observation and imitation pecking order Common Primate Traits

Primate Family Tree Orangutan Crown lemur

Hominin Evolution Homo habilis (2.0 – 1.6mya) H. erectus (1.9-70kyBP) H. neanderthalensis (300-30kyBP) H. sapiens (200kyBP – present) ~ 20 different homo species Human evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Scale: Millions of Years BP

Hominid Evolution

Homo heidelbergensis Africa into Europe 500 000 – 300 000 yrs BP primitive form of language similar tools/fire as H. erectus evolved into H. neandertalensis in Europe evolved into H. sapien in Africa

Homo sapiens Archaic – 200,000 to 35,000 years BP Modern – 35,000 years BP to present Anatomically modern Homo sapiens sapiens

Modern Homo Sapiens Multiregional Model Humans evolved more or less simultaneously across the entire Old World from several ancestral populations. Rapid-Replacement Model (Out of Africa) Humans evolved only once--in Africa --and then migrated throughout the Europe and Asia, replacing their ancestors mDNA evidence supports this
