Homo

Homo is the genus that includes living humans and extinct species such as Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis. Its members are distinguished from other hominins by a combination of anatomical and behavioral traits that changed over time.

Hominini: Hominini is the primate tribe that includes humans and their extinct relatives after the split from chimpanzees. Homo belongs to this broader lineage, which also includes australopithecines.
Homo habilis: Homo habilis is an extinct East African human species known from fossils dating to roughly 2.4–1.4 million years ago. It is an early named species often associated with the emergence of Homo.
Australopithecus: Australopithecus is an extinct African hominin genus that lived before and alongside early members of Homo. Its species show that upright walking evolved before the traits commonly associated with Homo.
Out of Africa: Out of Africa is the model that modern humans originated in Africa and later dispersed across the world. The model explains the global expansion of Homo sapiens from an African origin.
Hominidae: Hominidae is the great ape family, including orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. This family places Homo among the living and extinct great apes.
Homo erectus: Homo erectus is an extinct human species that lived in Africa and Eurasia for nearly two million years. Its long duration and geographic spread make it a defining case of Homo diversification.
Lomekwi 3: Lomekwi 3 is a Kenyan archaeological site with stone tools dated to about 3.3 million years ago. Its tools predate the earliest widely accepted Homo fossils, weakening a simple genus-tool association.
Human evolution: Human evolution is the evolutionary history of humans and their ancestral lineages. Homo is a major genus within this broader history.
Bipedalism: Bipedalism is locomotion using two legs, especially habitual upright walking. Habitual bipedalism predates Homo and remains central to its evolutionary background.
Homo neanderthalensis: Homo neanderthalensis is an extinct human species that lived in Europe and western Asia. Neanderthals reveal close evolutionary relations and interbreeding with modern humans.
