This report will thoroughly discuss what we believe each skull is and why we think so. Firstly‚ we believe skull number one is Homo habilis. H. habilis is about 2.4 to 1.5 million years old. This skull has a small supraorbital brow ridge and no sagittal crest. The nasal bones were flat and the facial prognathism is in between. The canines do not jut and a canine diastema is not

We know what we know about history from the examining of fossils‚ DNA records‚ ‚ and technological advances overtime.

Introduction The most well-known‚ universally dispersed of the early African hominins are the australopiths. This effective group of hominins is integrated of a genus known as Australopithecus. These hominins go as far back as three million years allowing them to be hominins that had lived the longest period of time and were reported on. The hominins have been located in areas of Africa and have been found to be bipedal (walk upright)‚ have small-sized brains‚ and have exceptionally big teeth
