A detailed Summary of human evolution

This species was announced in September 1994. It is thought to

be the oldest known hominid species. It was dated at 4.4 million

years old. The majority of the fossils found were skull fragments.

Other evidence suggests that this species was bipedal. The

individuals were about four feet tall. Some fossils found indicate

that ramidus may have been a forest dweller. The teeth resemble

something between earlier apes and A. afarensis. The fossils were

discovered by a team led by Tim White in Aramis Ethiopia. The

This species was named in August 1995. The fossils were mostly

found in Kanapoi Kenya in 1988. Anamensis is thought to have

existed between 4.2 and 3.9 million years ago. The teeth and jaws

are very similar to those of older fossil apes. A partial tibia

supports bipedality. The first fossil of this species was found in

Kanapoi Kenya by Bryan Patterson. The fossil was a lower left

humerous dated to be about 4.0 million years old.

This species existed between 3.9 and 3.0 million years ago. It had
