1. Hominin to Human

2. Derived Adaptive Changes
Adaptive Radiation: Traits emerge which increase fitness
and increase variation between reproductively isolated populations

3. Australopithecus to Homo erectus
All: bipedal, prehensile hands (Precision grip)
A. garhi may have used tools, butchered carcasses
H. habilis used tools, larger cranial vault

Both: Control of Fire, Sophisticated Tools, Complex Culture
And both out-migrated from Africa

5. Hiedelbergensis Dispersion

6. Archaic Homo sapiens to AMH
All are nomadic foragers, both cook their food, wear clothing, and construct shelters
