The skull of a homo rudolfensis a species of the genus Homo

Replica of a skull (Homo Florensis) from Liang Bua, Flores, Indonesia dating 74,000 BC - 17,000 BC. The remains of an individual that would have stood about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) in height were discovered in 2003 at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Partial skeletons of nine individuals have been recovered, including one complete skull.

Homo floresiensis (Flores Man; nicknamed hobbit) is an extinct species in the genus Homo. The remains of an individual that would have stood about 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) in height were discovered in 2003 at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia. This hominin had originally been considered remarkable for its survival until relatively recent times, only 12,000 years ago. However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago. The Homo floresiensis skeletal material is now dated from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago

Skull of a Merycoidodon, an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore. Dated Late Eocene-Early Miocene

This skull, one of several different kinds of giant lemur inhabiting Madagascar that became extinct in relatively recent times. The fossil evidence strongly points to these mammals becoming extinct soon after modern man reached Madagascar - evidence that people have been affecting the ecological balance since prehistoric times.

Skull of an early homo sapiens found in Eastern Europe. Homo rudolfensis (also Australopithecus rudolfensis) is an extinct species of the Hominini tribe known only through a handful of representative fossils, the first of which was discovered by Bernard Ngeneo, a member of a team led by anthropologist Richard Leakey and zoologist Meave Leakey in 1972, at Koobi Fora on the east side of Lake Rudolf (now Lake Turkana) in Kenya.

First humans. Some scientists think this is the earliest evidence of humans. It is about 1.9 million years old and belongs to the species Homo rudolfensis (which is sometimes included in Homo habilis). It has a bigger brain but retains the flat face and big teeth of the australopithecines. Stone tools of the same age have also been discovered, but not at the same site as this fossil.

This skull, one of several different kinds of giant lemur inhabitating Madagascar that became extinct in relatively recent times. The fossil evidence strongly points to these mammals becoming extinct soon after modern man reached Madagascar - evidence that people have been affecting the ecological balance since prehistoric times.
