Human evolution. Artwork of eight different species from the human evolutionary tree, all now extinct except modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens, lower right). The others are: Paranthropus (upper left, around million years ago); Australopithecus afarensis (upper centre, to million years ago); Homo habilis (upper right, to million years ago); Homo erectus (centre left, million to 150,000 years ago); Homo heidelbergensis (centre, 600,000 to 200,000 years ago); Homo georgicus (centre right, around million years ago); and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (lower left, around 600,000 to 45,000 years ago). Modern humans evolved around 200,000 years ago.
