Summary Introduction
To distinguish: The members of genus Homo that include H.habilis, H. ergaster, H.erectus, H.antecessor, H.heidebergensis, H.neanderthalensis, and H.sapiens.
Introduction: The genus Homo includes fossil ancestral humans and modern day humans. They exhibited the common characteristic of bipedalism, terrestrial mode of living, and civilization. Homo genus is, collectively, the most advanced placental mammals that are dry-nosed primates. Homo genus includes several extinct species. The only surviving species is Homo sapiens. Homo species’ fossils were discovered in several parts of the world based on which the human migration pattern was studied.

- Choose true or false for each of the following statements: A. Neanderthal DNA shows that they share a number of modern human traits, and likely interbred with human populations leaving Africa as they moved through Southwest Asia. B. The fate of the Neanderthals is clear from fossil and artifactual evidence - they simply died out about 27 000 years ago. C. Platyrrhines differ from catarrhines in the following ways: they have three premolars instead of two, they are found in Central and South America, and they have prehensile tails, feet, and hands. D. The Harvard Medical School bacteria video demonstrated the principles of gene flow and genetic drift.
