Notes

W A list of ancient human types that are lesser known or sometimes considered as "lost species":

Homo erectus: This species lived about 1.8 million to 70,000 years ago and was widely dispersed across Africa, Asia, and Europe. They were one of the first human species to leave Africa and were the first to use fire.

Homo floresiensis: Also known as the "Hobbit," this species lived on the Indonesian island of Flores between 100,000 and 60,000 years ago. They were only about 3 feet tall and had a brain the size of a chimpanzee's.

Homo antecessor: This species lived in Europe about 1 million years ago and may have been the first human species to migrate out of Africa. They are known for their distinct facial features and large brain capacity.

Homo luzonensis: This species was discovered on the Philippine island of Luzon in 2019 and lived approximately 50,000 to 67,000 years ago. They are known for their small stature and unique tooth structure.

Homo naledi: This species lived in South Africa between 236,000 and 335,000 years ago and had a mixture of primitive and modern human-like traits. They are known for their small brain size and apparent ritualistic behavior, including disposing of their dead in a remote cave.

Homo sapiens idaltu: This species lived in Ethiopia about 160,000 years ago and is considered to be one of the earliest forms of modern humans. They were taller and had larger brains than earlier human species, but had smaller brains than modern humans.

Homo heidelbergensis: This species lived in Africa and Europe between 600,000 and 200,000 years ago and is considered to be a direct ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans. They had larger brains and a more robust body structure than earlier human species.

Denisovans: This extinct species of hominins was discovered in Denisova Cave in Russia in 2010. They lived between 170,000 and 40,000 years ago and interbred with both Neanderthals and modern humans. They are known for their unique DNA and adaptations to high altitude environments.

Homo neanderthalensis: This species lived in Europe and Asia between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago and is the closest extinct relative of modern humans. They were taller, stronger, and had larger brains than modern humans, but were also prone to a variety of health problems.

Homo soloensis: This species was discovered in Indonesia in 1996 and lived about 700,000 to 1 million years ago. They were smaller than other early human species and had a unique tooth structure.

Paranthropus boisei: This species lived in Africa between 2.3 and 1.2 million years ago and was characterized by its large jaw and cheek bones and powerful chewing muscles. They were likely herbivores and had a diet consisting mainly of tough plant material.

Paranthropus robustus: This species lived in Africa between 2 and 1 million years ago and was similar in many ways to Paranthropus boisei. However, they had a slightly smaller cranial capacity and were likely more versatile in their diet.

Australopithecus garhi: This species lived in Africa between 2.5 and 2.3 million years ago and is considered to be a possible direct ancestor of the early human species, Homo habilis. They had a mixture of primitive and advanced traits and were likely capable of making stone tools.

Australopithecus afarensis: This species lived in Africa between 3.9 and 2.9 million years ago and is best known for the famous fossil known as Lucy. They were bipedal, had long arms and a curved spine, and were likely capable of climbing trees.

Australopithecus africanus: This species lived in Africa between 3 and 2 million years ago and was similar in many ways to Australopithecus afarensis. However, they had a larger brain and a more human-like jaw and teeth.

It's worth noting that the exact number of ancient human species is still a topic of debate among scientists, and new discoveries are constantly being made. Nevertheless, the study of these lost species provides important insights into human evolution and our place in the natural world.rite a note in this area. It's really easy to share with others.
