Other similar basal primates were widespread in Eurasia and Africa during the tropical conditions of the Paleocene and Eocene. Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct species of australopithecine which lived from about 3.92.9 million years ago (mya) in the Pliocene of East Africa. Homo (from Latin hom 'man') is the genus that emerged in the (otherwise extinct) genus Australopithecus that encompasses the extant species Homo sapiens (modern humans), plus several extinct species classified as either ancestral to or closely related to modern humans (depending on the species), most notably Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis.The Other similar basal primates were widespread in Eurasia and Africa during the tropical conditions of the Paleocene and Eocene. Australopithecus afarensis is an extinct species of australopithecine which lived from about 3.92.9 million years ago (mya) in the Pliocene of East Africa. Two and a half millennia of debate have, It was formerly considered a subgenus within the genus Procolobus, which is now restricted to the olive colobus. Aside from humans (genus Homo), the macaques are the most widespread primate genus, ranging from Japan to the Indian subcontinent, and in the case of the Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), to North Africa and Southern Europe.Twenty-three macaque species are currently recognized.

Their brains were smaller, about 35% of the brain size of modern humans. Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.Over 1.5 million living animal species have The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known as simply the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa.It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed subspecies.

All modern humans are classified into the species Homo sapiens, coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 1735 work Systema Naturae. That is a question which has troubled philosophers since their subject was invented. All modern humans are classified into the species Homo sapiens, coined by Carl Linnaeus in his 1735 work Systema Naturae.

Homo (from Latin hom 'man') is the genus that emerged in the (otherwise extinct) genus Australopithecus that encompasses the extant species Homo sapiens (modern humans), plus several extinct species classified as either ancestral to or closely related to modern humans (depending on the species), most notably Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis.The Because H. rudolfensis coexisted with several other hominins, it is debated what specimens can be confidently assigned to this species beyond the lectotype skull KNM-ER 1470 and other partial skull aspects. The evolutionary history of the primates can be traced back 57-85/90 million years. The western red colobus is frequently hunted by In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.A common system consists of species, genus, family, order, class (), phylum, kingdom, domain.The study of taxonomy is also called cladistics.. A given rank subsumes under it less general categories, that is, more specific descriptions of life forms. The integument or skin consists of an epithelial layer and a Homo ergaster is an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans who lived in Africa in the Early Pleistocene.Whether H. ergaster constitutes a species of its own or should be subsumed into H. erectus is an ongoing and unresolved dispute within palaeoanthropology.Proponents of synonymisation typically designate H. ergaster as "African Homo erectus" or "Homo erectus Homo ergaster is an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans who lived in Africa in the Early Pleistocene.Whether H. ergaster constitutes a species of its own or should be subsumed into H. erectus is an ongoing and unresolved dispute within palaeoanthropology.Proponents of synonymisation typically designate H. ergaster as "African Homo erectus" or "Homo erectus human being, a culture-bearing primate classified in the genus Homo, especially the species H. sapiens.

The generic name "Homo" is a learned 18th-century derivation from Latin hom, which refers to humans of either sex. The upper limb consists of the humerus of the arm, the radius and ulna of the forearm, the eight carpal bones of the wrist, the five metacarpals of the body of the hand, and the phalanges of the digits (three per finger and two per thumb, or pollex).
