7 Human Species That Existed On Earth Before Us by llakes4real: 1:06am On May 25, 2020

This space rock we call Earth has been around for over 4.6 billion years. During all those eons, thousands, maybe millions of different species had gone extinct, including some of our cousins and direct ancestors like the “working man” (Homo ergaster) and “handy man” (Homo habilis), to name a couple. You may not know that the first modern humans (Homo sapiens) appeared between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. At that time we didn’t have much competition, only some Neanderthals here and there, which probably helped us survive and develop our cognitive skills instead of using brute force on everything.

Anyway, none of the other humans from the Homo genus survived this arduous journey, leaving the Homo sapiens in charge of the planet. So here are top 7 extinct human species.

1. Homo georgicus

This “link species” between Homo habilis and Homo erectus was found Georgia in 1999 and is believed to be at least 1.8 million years old. Their skulls were quite tiny, but who needs brains when you got brawn! These homies settled in Europe around 800,000 years ago.

2. Homo ergaster (“working man”)

Let’s travel to South-East Africa now, 1.9-1.4 million years BC. The “working man” was a lot like H. erectus, but with some distinct differences in the skull structure and the brain size. They used stone axes and probably figured out how to make fire long before the others.

3. Homo rudolfensis

In 2007 a 1.9 million-year-old skull washed ashore near Lake Rudolf in Kenya. Only a single remnant of this species has been found so far, and according to the scientists it was more of a smart ape than a human.

4. Homo antecessor

One of our first European ancestors settled across the continent from Spain to Georgia 1.2 million to 700,000 years ago. Their large brains (over 1000 cc) helped them out tremendously during their reign in Europe.

5. Homo habilis (“handy man”)

Many researchers believe that Homo habilis, who lived 2.5 to 1.8 million years ago, could have been the first species of the Homo genus to ever appear. Allegedly, they were the first species to use stone tools, but those were mostly used for cutting meat of a dead animal, rather than hunting or self-defense.

6. The Neanderthal (Homo neanderthalensis)

The big boys are here! Their remains were found all over Europe and western Asia. Neanderthals were still roaming the land not so long ago, about 24,000 years, and first appeared 130,000 years ago. And since our direct ancestors were living their lives, and having these wide-nosed brutes as neighbors, there was definitely some DNA mixing going on. They could probably even speak in words and sentences, play flutes made out of bear femurs, and some researchers even say that they buries their dead. Knowing us humans, we probably saw what the big boys were doing and started doing it ourselves, but more efficiently.

7. Homo sapiens idaltu (“elderly wise man”)

Another more recently extinct subspecies of Homo sapiens – H. sapiens idaltu – settled in Africa 160,000 years ago. With brain capacity comparable to a modern human, these homies were most likely our direct ancestors. Following them were the first H. sapiens sapiens – Khoisan (today’s Bushmen), who appeared around 110,000 y.a. in Eastern Africa.

We are changing as humans it is just that a slow process and it only be apparent after so many years? Can you compare a 30 years old man 2000 years ago (just) that did some labour intensive work to the one of today who sits in front of a computer most times?

check an office woman and a woman who farms everyday, the difference is clear, even if they are of the same age, even in the next one million years it will be like that still, cos of life style.

Then you get my point! Just in their present environment the difference shows. What happens when the conditions in the environment changes? In the next one million year, can you guarantee that office work would be same as today's? Or farming work? Those professions would have changed or even cease to exist. This factor alone is enough to change/evolve us. Talk less of changes in nature itself.

Going by what we read now about global warming, what do you think would happen to humans in a million year from now? Am pretty sure they would not look like us, because they must evolve to survive that environment. And those who fail to do so, go extinct!

There is absolutely no difference between a man 2000 years ago and a man today. If there are, point them out.

Quite a promising thread. FP worthy cos it's the kind of thing I like.

So, OP, disregard the troglodytes and let's keep this moving.

Oh man, when would you use your eyes to see? Or if you are blind, ask for sight?

All these are carefully, prepared and crafted Lies meant to decieved you, and oh have you been deceived.

First, it is known that Truth is Always Eternal and because those who saw The Truth pass away, the reports of the Truth can then be changed.

Truth is Always seen in Nature and at no point was mango, pineapple, pawpaw, goat, lion, mountain, trees, sand, rock and seas, did they ever evolve.

Cassava, cocoyam, coconut, garri, rice, beans never evolved. Same as man.

This Lie only recently came up in the 1900 because, Antichrists Saw and Knew that by that time, people No Longer Knew the Truth of Histories neither did they care to know it, so they laid and established this Lie to deceive you all.

For it is Known that Truth Always Leads to the Mighty and Powerfull Creator, which Also Confirms the Truth Seen by All Men, which also Confirms the Records of the Truth contained in the Bible, and you know that Satan and his agents called Anti-Christ, ALWAYS HATE THE TRUTH AND MUST (ALWAYS MUST) SAY THAT THE TRUTH WHICH WE SEE AND KNOW IS A LIE.

There are many many Lies in 3D and 4D with Sound Effects, Craftily Established by reason, Promoted by the Rulers of this World, so souls would not know the Truth and their Creator, for the Complete and Absolute Destruction of the Decieved Souls.

Satan Hates God but can not win at all, there. God Loves You. Therefore, Satan Must Hate You and over you, the Wicked One can Win, and has been winning, for he had once almost completely won Your Yous Before- When all men became like Satan, Only Evil and therefore the Creator got angry and De-Created them all Except for Noah and his Family, whom He had set apart from evil, so that man may not be completely wiped out. Genesis 5:28 (Special Birth of Noah) and Genesis 6:5-8 (God's pain at seeing only Wickedness of man).

But Satan is back again to do as he had done in the beginning, the Complete and Absolute Destruction and Annihilation of Man, if you let him.

Antichrist, always speaking from the darkness. Come out and stand clearly let us see the table you are standing on and test it whether it is strong or not

First you claim "cousins" which means we were coexisting side by side (which you na no talk before).

Then you say "direct ancestors" which means them don go before we come-(which you na talk before).

So which LIE una wan choose, as if we no go give you the answer wey we don give you before.

Truth is Always Eternal and Unchanging. Lie Always Dies Everytime it is killed. So una Always need New New Lie!

Gerarra here!

They should really look into the matter. One of those three wise men that showed up from nowhere after the birth of Jesus must be responsible for the pregnancy. Mary probably lied so she could cover her tracks. grin

Of course there is nothing reasonable for you to say because your point has died already for the Living Truth killed it.

Lies is Always Killed by Truth and you guys always bring a Fresh Lie which Truth will always kill again and again and again, as you have just done; first it was snake in Egypt, Truth has answered. Now it is poor old Methu. Even the Dead will not be spared by you.
