  2. Australopithecus - Wikipedia

    The footprints have generally been classified as australopith, as they are the only form of prehuman hominins known to have existed in that region at that time. [ 38 ] According to the Chimpanzee Genome Project , the human–chimpanzee last common ancestor existed about five to six million years ago, assuming a constant rate of mutation.

    The footprints measured between 140 and 260 mm (5.5 and 10.2 in), thought to equate to heights between 0.9 and 1.7 m (2 ft 11 in and 5 ft 7 in). It is believed that the individuals who made them were from the species Homo antecessor , [ 7 ] known to have lived in the Atapuerca Mountains of Spain around 800,000 years ago.

    The discovery of these footprints settled the issue, proving that the Laetoli hominins were fully bipedal long before the evolution of the modern human brain, and were bipedal close to a million years before the earliest known stone tools were made. [11] The footprints were classified as possibly belonging to Australopithecus afarensis.

    The footprints, the researchers said, mark the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made at about the same time on the shore of what is now the saline Lake Turkana. If the pair didn’t ...

    Ardipithecus Ardipithecus is, or may be, a very early hominin genus (tribe Hominini and subtribe Hominina). Two species are described in the literature: A. ramidus, which lived about 4.4 million years ago [32] during the early Pliocene, and A. kadabba, dated to approximately 5.6 million years ago [33] (late Miocene).

  8. Australopithecus afarensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australopithecus_afarensis

    Australopithecus is considered a grade taxon whose members are united by their similar physiology rather than close relations with each other over other hominin genera. It is unclear how any Australopithecus species relate to each other, [20] but it is generally thought that a population of A. anamensis evolved into A. afarensis. [10] [20] [21]

  9. Trachilos footprints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachilos_footprints

    The Trachilos footprints are possibly tetrapod footprints which show hominin-like characteristics from the late Miocene on the western Crete, close to the village of Trachilos, west of Kissamos, in the Chania Prefecture. [1] Researchers describe the tracks as representing at least one apparent bipedal [1] hominin or an unknown primate.
