Replica of Laetoli footprints, exhibit in the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan Laetoli footprints. Laetoli is a pre-historic site located in Enduleni ward of Ngorongoro District in Arusha Region, Tanzania. The site is dated to the Plio-Pleistocene and famous for its Hominina footprints, preserved in volcanic ash.
Solidified footprints dated to about 350 ka and associated with H. heidelbergensis were found in southern Italy in 2003. [ 49 ] H. sapiens lost the brow ridges from their hominid ancestors as well as the snout completely, though their noses evolve to be protruding (possibly from the time of H. erectus ).

[1] [2] This subfamily includes two tribes, Hominini and Gorillini, both having extant (or living) species as well as extinct species.
The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place around 10 to 7 million years ago. [1] The list of fossils begins with Graecopithecus, dated some 7.2 million years ago, which may or may not still be ancestral to both the human and the chimpanzee lineage.
In 1998, five child hand- and footprint impressions were discovered in a travertine unit near the Quesang hot springs in Tibet; in 2021, they were dated to 226 to 169 thousand years ago using uranium decay dating. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation of the Tibetan Plateau, and since the Xiahe mandible is the oldest human fossil from ...
Hominina Gray 1825 [2] sensu Andrew & Harrison 2005 [3] The australopithecines ( / ɔː ˈ s t r eɪ l oʊ ˈ p ɪ θ ə s aɪ n z / ), formally Australopithecina or Hominina , are generally any species in the related genera of Australopithecus and Paranthropus .
This category lists members of the subtribe Australopithecine (Hominina). The members of the subtribe are generally Australopithecus (cladistically including the genera Homo, Paranthropus, and Kenyanthropus), and it typically includes the earlier Ardipithecus, Orrorin, Sahelanthropus, and (sometimes) Graecopithecus.
