~5'5" height & 200lbs robust
double arched brow rdiges & occipital bun (neaderthal like)
primitive teeth like H. erectus
|
|
homo heidlebergenis

900,000 - 130,000 yrs ago
africa europe and asia
|
|
H. heidlebergenis: morphology
|
large brain 1200-1300cc

midfacial projection
further reduction of cheek teeth
retromolar gap

Cranial morphology
|
average 1350 cc
high cranial vault
vertical forehead
reduced supraorbital ridges
mandibular proturberance ( chin)
fasce completely under the skull
|
|
fHomo sapiens: post-cranial morphology
|
decreased robusticity
long limbs relative to the trunk
|
|
human origin theories
|
multi regionalism & african origins
|
|
Multi regional
|
follwing dispersal of homo erectus from africa to Eurasia, individual populations continued to evolved
with adequate gene flow, homo sapiens emerged from original H. erectus populations
|
|
out of africa hypothesis
|
moves to eurasia
out competes the achaic populations
y chromosome
fossils
support mt DNA
|
|
Homo florensis: cranial features
|
417-380cc
human like dentition
receeding forehead
no chin
thick browridges
|
|
homo floresiensis
|
bipedal
1 meter tall 55 lbs
retains primitive carpal features
hindlimb and feet also retain primitive features altered gait
thick robust hind limbs are short in comparison to body
long feet with curved pedal phala
