7 Summary Summary (cont) Hominins are the bipedal apes in that portion of the evolutionary tree that includes humans but not chimpanzees. Sahelanthropus was a Miocene ape that may have been ancestral to humans, to chimps, or to both. Not clear whether it walked upright. In the Pliocene, there was a variety hominin species. They walked upright but had chimp-sized brains. Larger brains began to appear at the end of the Pliocene, with the advent of Home habilis and Homo erectus. In the early Pleistocene, Homo erectus expands out of Africa and throughout Europe and Asia. The species called archaic Homo sapiens appears about 400 kya. It retains the strong brow ridges and receding chin of H. erectus, but has a larger brain. Anatomically modern Homo sapiens appears about 100 kya and spreads throughout the world about 50 kya. erectus/ergaster s ribcage less conical implies a smaller gut implies a high-quality diet
