EVOLUTION UNDER WAY  ~200 000

Homo rhodesiensis is a possible hominin species described from the fossil Rhodesian Man. Other morphologically-comparable remains have been found from the same, or earlier, time period in southern Africa (Hopefield or Saldanha), East Africa (Bodo, Ndutu, Eyasi, Ileret) and North Africa (Salé, Rabat, Dar-es-Soltane, Djbel Irhoud, Sidi Aberrahaman, Tighenif). These remains were dated between 300,000 and 125,000 years old.(click to see all the article on Wikipedia)

The Neanderthal (also spelled Neandertal) is an extinct member of the Homo genus that is known from Pleistocene specimens found in Europe and parts of western and central Asia. Neanderthals are either classified as a subspecies of humans (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or as a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis). The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 600,000–350,000 years ago. Proto-Neanderthal traits are occasionally grouped to another phenetic 'species', Homo heidelbergensis, or a migrant form, Homo rhodesiensis. By 130,000 years ago, complete Neanderthal characteristics had appeared. These characteristics then disappeared in Asia by 50,000 years ago and in Europe by 30,000 years ago.

演化一直進行中 ~20萬年前

經由羅德西亞人化石得知，羅德西亞人是一種可能存在的人種。其他在型態上相同或更早的遺骸於非洲南部(霍普菲爾德或薩爾達尼亞)，非洲東部(博多，恩杜圖，埃亞，伊萊雷特)，和非洲北部(塞拉，拉巴特，達拉斯薩拉姆，傑貝爾厄豪，西迪艾伯拉哈曼，塔爾尼夫)。這些遺骸有30萬年到12.5萬年之久。

尼安德塔人(也拼作穴居人)是智人當中滅絕的一支，是在歐洲及部份西亞及中亞發掘出的更新世標本。尼安德塔人被歸類為亞種人類(尼安德塔智人)，或是單獨的物種(尼安德塔人)。首個原始的尼安德塔人，早在60萬年到35萬年前出現。原始的尼安德塔人，其特徵有時會被歸類於另一表型種之中，如海德堡人，或是歸類於遷入的類型，如羅德西亞人。直到13萬年前，完整的尼安德塔人的特徵出現。這些特徵於5萬年前及3萬年前分別消失於亞洲及歐洲。
