List of human evolution fossils

The following tables give an overview of notable finds of hominin fossils and remains relating to human evolution, beginning with the formation of the Hominini tribe (the divergence of the human and chimpanzee lineages) in the late Miocene, roughly 7 to 8 million years ago.

As there are thousands of fossils, mostly fragmentary, often consisting of single bones or isolated teeth with complete skulls and skeletons rare, this overview is not complete, but does show some of the most important finds. The fossils are arranged by approximate age as determined by radiometric dating and/or incremental dating and the species name represents current consensus; if there is no clear scientific consensus the other possible classifications are indicated.

Most of the early fossils shown are not considered direct ancestors to Homo sapiens but are closely related to direct ancestors and are therefore important to the study of the lineage. After 1.5 million years ago (extinction of Paranthropus), all fossils shown are human (genus Homo). After 11,500 years ago (11.5 ka, beginning of the Holocene), all fossils shown are Homo sapiens (anatomically modern humans), illustrating recent divergence in the formation of modern human sub-populations.

Late Miocene (7.2 – 5.5 million years old)

The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place during about 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. For the earlier history of the human lineage, see Timeline_of_human_evolution#Hominidae, Hominidae#Phylogeny.

"once considered plausible candidates for status as the earliest hominin (e.g., Kramer 1986; Ward and Hill 1987). Recent fieldwork, though, has lessened the relevance of these fossils by recovering samples from horizons more than two million years earlier. Yet despite the increase of comparative samples, these two mandibular fragments remain difficult to diagnose. Here we consider the morphology and dental metrics of these two specimens in comparison to the larger samples of Miocene and early Pliocene hominins recovered during the last fifteen years. We show, based on molar size, that KNM-TH 13150 is consistent with the hypodigm of Ardipithecus, while the Lothagam mandible is not consistent with Ardipithecus in its molar dimensions. These results have important biogeographic implications and hint at a more complex Early Pliocene hominin phylogeny than previously appreciated."

  114. Wadjak 1 and Wadjak 2 are fossil human skulls discovered near Wajak, a town in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia in 1888/90. Dubbed "Wajak Man", and formerly classified as a separate species (Homo wadjakensis), the skulls are now recognized as early anatomically modern human. They were dated to the Holocene, 12 to 5 ka, in the 1990s, but this has been revised in a 2013 study which claimed a far earlier date, "a minimum age of between 37.4 and 28.5 ka".
