- Homo habilis: Homo habilis is considered one of the earliest species in the Homo genus and is recognized as a hominid and is known for using stone tools. While it had human-like traits, it was not identical to modern humans.
- Dryopithecus: Dryopithecus is not a direct ancestor of humans but represents an extinct hominoid species and are more ape-like, not human-like. It is not in the direct human evolutionary line.
- Australopithecines: Australopithecines are hominids . They had some ape-like and human-like traits and are considered our distant ancestors. They used tools and had a mixed diet, which included fruits, plants, and possibly some meat.
- Neanderthals: Neanderthals were a separate species from Homo sapiens and existed around 1,00,000 to 40,000 years ago. They are known for using hides and burying their dead, which indicates cultural practices. They are not direct ancestors of modern humans but were a closely related species.
