Who were the first humans in history?

Cave man on the top of the mountain, Peking ape man.

Australopithecus. It is the earliest known hominid. Australopithecus is an extinct genus of homininidae.

It is considered to be the first stage of the transition from ape to man, a late representation of man in the process of formation. It lived between 5.5 million and 1.3 million years ago.

Judging from the human fossils that have been discovered, the evolution of human beings can be roughly divided into the following four stages:

1. Australopithecus stage.

Australopithecus australopithecus has been found to have lived between 4.4 million and 1 million years ago. According to the study of the anatomical features of fossils, the most important feature of Australopithecus that distinguishes it from apes is its ability to walk upright on two legs.

2. Capable stage.

2,000,000 BC-1,750,000 BC. Homo sapiens fossils are from 1960 in Tanzania, East Africa.

and Kenya have been discovered. The first Homo hoans existed 1.9 million years ago. Capable people are classified under the family Homo genus Homo species. Homo sapiens had significantly larger brains than Australopithecus australopithecus, and could use stones as materials to make tools (stone tools), which gradually evolved into Homo erectus.

3. Homo erectus stage.

Homo erectus belongs to the family Homo erectus in the classification, referred to as Homo erectus, commonly known as ape-man. Homo erectus fossils were first dated to 1891 in Indonesia.

Found in Java. At that time, there was also a debate about whether it was a man or an ape. Until the 20s of the 20th century, in Beijing Zhoukoudian.

The successive discoveries of fossils and stone tools of Peking Man established Homo erectus's position in the history of human evolution. Homo erectus lived from about 1.7 million years ago to more than 200,000 years ago. To date, Homo erectus fossils have been found in Asia, Africa and Europe.

4. Homo sapiens stage.

It is generally divided into early Homo sapiens (ancient Homo sapiens) and late Homo sapiens (modern humans). Early Homo sapiens lived between 200,000 and more than 100,000 years ago. Late Homo sapiens began about 100,000 years ago.

Its anatomy has been basically similar to that of modern humans, so it is also called modern humans in anatomical structure.

The earliest human found in the world - Ramaucus.

In 1910, the first fossil of Rama Australopithecus was discovered in the West Varik Mountains on the border between Pakistan and India, and it was a fragment of the maxilla.

In 1934, it was named Ramaucus.

In the sixties and seventies, fossils of Australopithecus were found in Kenya, Greece, Turkey, Hungary, Pakistan and Yunnan Province of China.

Ramaucus has been identified as having lived between 14 million and 8 million years ago.

Archaeologists have theorized that Ramapistralopithecus was able to walk upright on two legs, and that they lived in glades or forest edges, eating mainly plant fruits, but may also have eaten a little meat.

It is the earliest human found in the world.

The earliest human found in China - Yuanmou Man.

In 1965, in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, archaeologists found two ancient human teeth and some rough stone tools.

Scientists have identified this as the bones and relics of ancient humans, about 1.7 million years ago.

The ancient humans found in Yuanmou are called Yuanmou people.

Yuanmou Man is the earliest human species found in China.
