Summary Introduction
Introduction: The genus Homo is assigned to modern day humans and their ancestors who lived and migrated from Africa to other parts of the world and showed bipedalism. The genus Homo comes under the Tribe Hominini. The Homo species’ fossils were discovered in several parts of the world based on which the human migration pattern was studied.

The earliest hominin that most paleoanthropologists place in genus Homo is (a) H. habilis (b) H. ergaster (c) H. erectus (d) H. heidelbergensis (e) H. neanderthalensis
Which of the following is responsible for the early predominant image of Neanderthals as brutish cavemen? a). They had small brain cases with stocky bodies and were always recovered from cave sites b). The fossil evidence reveals that they had little cognitive capacity and had a hunched over posture c). An early fossil find of an Individual suffering from arthritis was assembled and taken as the type specimen foer all Neanderthals, mistakenly giving the idea that Neanderthals were an ape-like, hunched-over species.d). None of the above are true

However, there is much variation among specimens that are grouped into H. erectus.

Do you think H. habilis is more like Australopithecus or Homo? How do these three species reflect the major environmental pressures of the time periods in which they lived, respectively?
