Have you ever wondered how scientists and archaeologist identifying a 3 million year old fossil .Well they have many methods that may need high tech machines or it might just take a little bit of knowledge about early hominins.There are many different hominins that we record by the changes that happened to them. Although we don't find many fossils and whole bones when we find them but we still can recreate them. Most people call the early hominins ape man because they resemble monkeys. One types of early humans are the sahelanthropus tchadensis which are the oldest ones found they data back to 7 million years and as it seems they had a chimp like brain and not much features that we have today. Homo habilis also known as handy man is one of the best known fossils. It shows that the people from the pas killed little animals for food and made tools that's why he is called the handy man. Homo neanderthalensis are one of the earliest human and they show human like features of the skull and height. As you see their are many different types of early humans and their are still more to find.
