Document Summary
Homo rudolfensis: koobi fora, kenya, originally considered as h. habilis, h. rudolfensis or h. habilis first representative of our genus, very controversial. Homo heidelbergensis: europe and africa, 700-130 kya, compared to h erectus, h heidelbergensis, dentition got smaller, more like ours smaller teeth, brain size increased, body size increased. Homo neanderthalensis: europe and middle east (300-35 kya) If you are from asia or from certain part of europe may have neandertalensis dna in you. Homo sapiens: 160 kya in africa, 100 kya in middle east, 40 kya in europe, controlled use of fire, hunting and gathering, cultural remains including increasingly complex stone tools. Asia: some se population have denisovans dna, movement back and forth from modern humans to denisovans and n, shared some dna amongst each other. More dna evidence of complex admixture: compared dna from neanderthalensis, densiovans to se asia. Interbreeding may have given modern humans genes that bolstered immunity to pathogens.
