Phylogenetic Tree (Human Beings (Unlike every other human species, Homo…

- - - - The tall bodies and big brains were required a lot of energy on a regular basis. As they ate the needed proteins like meat their energy was produced faster.
        
        Soon after we see evidence in the fossil record of the earliest Homo erectus fossils we see evidence in the archeological record for the first major innovation in stone tool technology.
        
        Some scientists distinguish between the African fossils of this taxon, while others lump them together as Homo erectus sensu lato.
- - - - Height for males were 5 ft 5 in
        Height for females were 5 ft 1 in Weight for males was 143 lbs
        Weight for females was 119 lbs
        
        The number of plant foods Neanderthals could eat would have dropped significantly during the winter of colder climates, forcing Neanderthals to exploit other food options like meat more heavily.
        
        Both fossil and genetic evidence indicate that Neanderthals and modern humans evolved from a common ancestor between 700,000 and 300,000 years ago.
- - - - This species was nicknamed Nutcracker Man for its big teeth and strong chewing muscles, which attached to the large crest on the skull.Those features show that Paranthropus boisei likely ate tough foods like roots and nuts. But dental patterns seen on Paranthropus boisei teeth rather than large, deep pits seen in the teeth of living species that eat grass, tough leaves and stems, or other hard, brittle foods.
        
        Paranthropus boisei is usually thought to descend from earlier P. aethiopicus and lived alongside several other species of early humans during its 1.1 million year existence.
