This week, we’ve been learning about early members of the genus Homo. We have already explored H. habilis in more detail — now I’d like you to choose another early member of our genus to explain.
Objectives
Describe what is known about the adaptive strategies of early members of the Homo genus, including tool technologies, diet, migration patterns, and other behavioral trends.
Directions
Choose one of the following members of the genus Homo: H. rudolfensis, H. ergaster, H. erectus. In an extended paragraph (approximately 200 words), answer the following prompt:
Where did this hominin live? When? What kind of variability exists in the fossil record? Did they migrate anywhere? What kinds of tools did they use? Do you think they should be considered the same species as any other hominin we have studied this week? Why or why not?
