Ardipithecus Ardipithecus is a genus of an extinct hominine that lived during Late Miocene and Early Pliocene in Afar Depression, Ethiopia. Originally described as one of the earliest ancestors of humans after they diverged from the main ape lineage, the relation of this genus to human ancestors and whether it is a hominin is now a matter of debate.

3-Million-Year-Old 'Ape Man' May Beat 'Lucy' As Earliest Human Forefather Lucy is the name given to the skeleton of a female Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominid species thought to be closely related to the genus Homo. The remains were discovered in 1974 in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia. The early hominid is thought to be around 3.2 million years old. Lucy was the first Australopithecus afarensis skeleton ever uncovered and is probably the world’s most famous early human ancestor.

- Updated April 10, 2016. Hominid is a general term which has been used for decades by archaeologists and paleontologists to stand for all modern humans and any member of the species of animal we are most closely evolved from, currently including Homo erectus, Neanderthals, Denisovans and Australopithecines.

Ardipithecus kadabba Ardipithecus kadabba was bipedal (walked upright), probably similar in body and brain size to a modern chimpanzee, and had canines that resemble those in later hominins but that still project beyond the tooth row.This early human species is only known in the fossil record by a few post-cranial bones and sets of teeth.rdipithecus kadabba was bipedal (walked upright), probably similar in body and brain size to a modern chimpanzee, and had canines that resemble those in later hominins but that still project beyond the tooth row.

- The organisms that are alive today are but the leaves of this giant tree, and if we could trace their history back down the branches of the Tree of Life, we would encounter their ancestors, which lived thousands or millions or hundreds of millions of years ago (Figure 2).

Ethiopian desert yields oldest hominid skeleton This is the oldest hominid skeleton on Earth, said Tim White, University of California, Berkeley, professor of integrative biology and one of the co-directors of the Middle Awash Project, a team of 70 scientists that reconstructed the skeleton and other fossils found with it.his is the most detailed snapshot we have of one of the earliest hominids and of what Africa was like 4.4 million years ago.. White and the team will publish the results of their analysis in 11 papers in the Oct. 2 issue of the journal Science, which has Ardi on the cover.

Human Early hominins—particularly the australopithecines, whose brains and anatomy are in many ways more similar to ancestral non-human apes—are less often referred to as human than hominins of the genus Homo.omo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of the hominin clade (or human clade), a branch of the great apes; they are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion, manual dexterity and increased tool use, and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.

The oldest Homo sapiens The bones of an early member of our species, Homo sapiens, known as Omo I, excavated from Ethiopia's Kibish rock formation. The bones are kept in the National Museum of Ethiopia. When the first bones from Omo I were found in 1967, they were thought to be 130,000 years old.

Chimpanzeeâhuman last common ancestor Sahelanthropus tchadensis is an extinct hominid species that lived seven million years ago, very close to the time of the chimpanzee–human divergence. It is unclear whether or not it may be classed as hominin—that is, whether it rose after the split from the chimpanzees, or not.

Oldest Hominin DNA Ever Sequenced “That should already be quite informative.”. The world’s oldest genome currently belongs to a horse that lived around 700,000 years ago. But this animal was buried in Siberian permafrost—ideal conditions for preserving DNA.

- Homo habilis. An extinct hominid of the genus Homo that lived between 2.3 and 1.4 million years ago in Africa in the early Pleistocene period. H habilis was short, but had a less protruding face and a higher, rounder and larger brain cavity (±650 cc) than Australopithecus (±450 cc).

- The only confirmed member is homo sapien sapiens, but folklore indicates several other potential members such as yeti and sasquatches. Hominid refers to members of the fam…ily of humans (Hominidae) which includes only species on our side of the last common ancestor of humans and living apes. Hominids are part of the superfamily of all apes (Hominoidea) called hominoids.

- The hyoid bone of the juvenile Australopithecus afarensis fossil suggests that this species probably couldn t: speak like a human. The large brain is often considered a hallmark of modern humans and our hominid ancestors; however, it is not one of the characteristics thought to be obligate when discussing hominids.e is unable to remember the species name but knows that it lacked the specialized teeth seen in living apes, had elongated toes, an opposable big toe, and was part of a multidisciplinary study that reconstructed the early hominids habitat. The fossil he is.

The Oldest Known Living Organisms In The World Jonathon is a Seychelles giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) residing on St Helena who is still plodding along at what is believed to be the age of 182. This makes him possibly the oldest living land animal, and a strong contender for oldest vertebrate. While this claim is unconfirmed, Jonathon was full sized in the 1880s and giant tortoises are known to have lived to at least 188, so the claim has some credibility.

- This little guy has the distinction of being the oldest living species on earth that has existed UNCHANGED for 200 million years. In other words, he may not have been around as long as some of the creatures above him, but today he's is still virtually indistinguishable from his 200 million year old fossil.

Oldest Human Fossil Discovered In Ethiopia Mar 04, 2015 at 12:58 PM ET. This 2.8 million-year-old jawbone may be the oldest human fossil in existence, according to two papers published simultaneously in Science. Researchers now suspect that Homo (the genus that includes modern humans) dates back at least 400,000 years earlier than previously thought.
