The start of Homo!!


H. habilis and H. rudolfensis

KNM-ER-3228 -H. rudolfensis
This picture shows that the pelvis has the presence of an acetabulocristale buttress

Note in this picture the amount of ilia flare

KNM-ER-1481- H. rudolfensis
Note the similar femur size in 1481 compared to an anatomically modern human (Modern human above, 1481 below)

 Note in this picture the presence of an obvious linea aspera


KNM-ER-1470 (left) and Kenyanthropus platyops (right)
Note the similar flat faces

STW53 (left) and STS5- "Mrs. Ples" (right)
STW53 is a south African form of genus Homo, and Mrs. Ples was from South Africa- Australopithecus africanus. Note that both have post-orbital constriction

KNM-ER-1805 -H. rudolfensis
Note the appearance of what looks like an asymmetrical sagittal crest. Perhaps caused by fossilization, but probably pathologically distorted, too. 

KNM-ER-1813 -H. rudolfensis

OH8- H. rudolfensis

OH24- H. habilis

 OH16-H. habilis

Human - KNM-ER-1481 - Lucy
