Stone tools found at the Shangchen site in China and dated to 2.12 million years ago are considered the earliest known evidence of hominins outside Africa, surpassing Dmanisi hominins found in Georgia by 300,000 years, although whether these hominins were an early species in the genus Homo or another hominin species is unknown.

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 .
Homininae (the hominines), is a subfamily of the family Hominidae (hominids). (The Homininae— / h ɒ m ɪ ˈ n aɪ n iː / —encompass humans, and are also called "African hominids" or "African apes".) [1] [2] This subfamily includes two tribes, Hominini and Gorillini, both having extant (or living) species as well as extinct species.
Homo (from Latin homō 'human') is a genus of great ape (family Hominidae) that emerged from the genus Australopithecus and encompasses only a single extant species, Homo sapiens (modern humans), along with a number of extinct species (collectively called archaic humans) classified as either ancestral or closely related to modern humans; these include Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis.
Climate change at the LGM and competition with Homo Sapiens La Brea owl: Oraristix brea: Southern California, United States 10210-9850 BC [2] Errant vulture: Neogyps errans: California, United States 10045-9905 BC [3] Eurasian cave lion: Panthera spelaea: Northern Eurasia and Beringia: 10035-9845 BC [2] Dow's puffin: Fratercula dowi
The population of early humans dwindled to around 1,280 individuals during a time of dramatic climate change and remained that small for about 117,000 years, the study said.
By hunting mammoths, it is possible that humans helped hasten the animal’s extinction. “The largest mammoth sites in the USA and Central Europe contain the remains of mainly younger animals ...
The implications of this array of evidence is important due to the evidence that the “broad spectrum” of plant use is not unique to Homo sapiens. Homo neanderthalensis had, for all intents and purposes, a complex diet similar to many hunter-gather groups of Homo sapiens. The critical factor in this diet was that it varies significantly ...
