The Evolution of Man

[Ngala]

Thank you @GrizzlyClaws for the many lineage. 

Suggestions say that Homo heidelbergensis is not a real different taxa, but it's only an ancient form of Homo sapiens, and Homo rhodesiensis is an intermediate form; so we can consider both species Homo sapiens.

Moreover, Homo antecessor would be the last common ancestor between us, Homo sapiens, and Homo neandethalensis, before the divergence.

This theory would not be so impossible, since in fact, on H. heidelbergensis and H. rhodesiensis there are no such distinctive characters to speak of species but only a local difference, so we can talk an archaic form and transition form.

This would be the scheme:

Homo antecessor => Homo neanderthalensis (Extinct)
                                 =>H. heidelbergensis (archaic H. sapiens)=>H. rhodesiensis (transition between H. heidelbergensis and H. sapiens)=>Homo sapiens  Reply
