https://padlet.com/cdrapeau2012/at2gev4722px This project board will focus on the five major hominids. Each hominid will have a primary source excerpt from person who discovered their remains, an image of remains/artifact, explanation of hominid's abilities. A final box will be an opinion writing on the most significant hominid and why. en-us 2016-08-22 14:23:11 UTC 2023-05-20 22:55:34 UTC hello@padlet.com cdrapeau2012 https://padlet.com/cdrapeau2012/at2gev4722px/wish/119161436 195,000 years

This hominid was discovered by Eugene Dubois in 1891 in Indonesia. 

Homo erectus' evolutionary advancements included walking fully erect and using fire. He was the first to walk fully upright and used those longer, stronger legs to walk out of Africa. Homo erectus also developed the use of fire, allowing him to explore colder regions of the world. ]]> 2016-08-22 14:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrapeau2012/at2gev4722px/wish/119161725 cdrapeau2012 https://padlet.com/cdrapeau2012/at2gev4722px/wish/119161769 Found by Louis and Mary Leakey between 1960 and 1963 in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.

The importance of Homo habilis is their ability to make and use stone tools, which made tasks such as hunting easier.   Homo habilis is also known as "handy man."

"The skull was in the process of being eroded out on the slopes, and it was only because this erosion had already exposed part of the specimen that the discovery was possible." Dr. L.S.B. Leakey, A New Fossil Skill From Olduvai.

Australopithecine is it's ability to walk on two feet. This allowed for hominids to see farther as well provided more protection and mobility.
