  1. Homo sapiens sapiens, from about 125,000 years ago.  It's unclear how they were different from us, since their skeletons could pass for ours.

    There was a cultural revolution about 50,000 years ago, with an explosion in arts and crafts;  more complex tools, etc.  We don't know what was going on between 125,000 and 50,000 years ago.  They looked like us, but they didn't think like us.


  2. Homo uno

  3. The first classification of the Homo genus were Homo habilus, then followed Homo erectus and then Homo sapiens. So I would say Homo habilus.

  4. Homo sapiens or the truly human: Homo sapiens sapiens.

    Or, Homo habilis was the first to begin the genus homo.

    It's arbitrary.  In that Paulie Shore movie, they bring back a Cro-Magnon and he easily passes for modern human, and that's what this is about. You might consider a Neanderthal to be human enough if you met one now.  Especially if you've ever met a Frenchman.

  5. homosapians i think lol

  6. homosapiens

  7. A human is anything in the genus Homo.  Homo sapiens means wise human.  Homo erectus means erect-walking human.  Homo habilis was the first human.  

  8. Adam & Eve

  9. neanderthals

  10. Homo habilis was a species of the genus Homo, which lived from approximately 2.2 million to at least 1.6 million years ago at the beginning of the Pleistocene.


  11. dave or Neanderthal's

  12. Homo habilis, at 2.2 MYA. Australopithecus isn't isn't in our genus and this isn't a "human". It is however a probable H. s. sapien evolutionary ancestor between our existence, and the existence of a common ancestor of us and apes.

  13. Australopithecus

  14. Homo erectus was one of the earliest human species.  

  15. Australopithecines. It's the earliest human that existed. Homo sapiens are the modern humans.
