More and more fossils are being found for critical intermediate period of the evolution of primates from earlier primates to the diversity of sapiens that represent the immediate ancestors of humans. The fossil evidence describes a diverse subspecies and species of Australpithecus, Homo erectus, and Homo Habilis between 250,000 and 4,000,000 years ago.Earlier discoveries described them as two species, but more recent discoveries have found that the represent a diversity of species, subspecies, and varieties that have a range of physical properties such as brain size and development. They also lived in Africa at the same time. Australpithecus lived from ~4.2 million years to 1 million years ago. By the evidence the more advanced Homo Erectus lived from ~2 million to 250,000 years ago and Homo Habilis lived from ~2 million the earliest tool maker.
The following discovery adds to the discoveries of the diversity of our ancestors in this period.
