What are the three types of Homo?
This early part of the human genus is represented by three species: Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, and Homo erectus.
What are the Homo groups?
Ancient humans: What we know and still don’t know about them
- Homo habilis (“handy” man) Discovered: 1960, officially named in 1964.
- Homo erectus (“upright man”)
- Homo neanderthalensis (the Neanderthal)
- The Denisovans.
- Homo floresiensis (the “hobbit”)
- Homo naledi (“star man”)
- Homo sapiens (“wise man”, or “modern humans”)
What were the 9 species of humans?
Apart from our species, the gallery features eight other kinds of human: Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, Homo erectus, Homo antecessor, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo floresiensis (nicknamed ‘the Hobbit’), Homo neanderthalensis (the Neanderthals) and the recently discovered Homo naledi.
Did Neanderthals walk upright?
Researchers have shown that Neanderthals walked upright just like modern humans — thanks to a virtual reconstruction of the pelvis and spine of a very well-preserved Neanderthal skeleton found in France. Neanderthals are often depicted as having straight spines and poor posture.
What species first appeared to walk upright?

What species came before Homosapien?
Modern humans originated in Africa within the past 200,000 years and evolved from their most likely recent common ancestor, Homo erectus, which means ‘upright man’ in Latin. Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that lived between 1.9 million and 135,000 years ago.
Did denisovans walk upright?
A new study shows that Neanderthals walked upright — just like we modern humans do today. There are many things natural historians disagree on. But one that’s never been in question is that a “well-balanced posture” is a remarkably Homo sapien-y thing to have.
