Dig into 2015! Several different species of humans (hominins) have existed over the last few million years. They’re gone now. All that’s left is good-old Homo sapiens. But don’t feel too lonely. At the next Secret Science Club, Shara Bailey introduces our long-lost cousins—the Neandertals, Homo floresiensis (the “Hobbit”), Australopithecus, and more.A physical anthropologist at NYU and the Center for the Study of Human Origins, Shara Bailey delves into the the history of human evolution. She asks:
—What hominin species existed before modern humans—or even co-existed with us?
—How did our human ancestors change as they evolved? How are we different, and where were the earliest Homo sapiens found?
—What can 3-D imaging, confocal microscopy, computer modeling, and genetic analysis of bones and teeth tell us about the lives, childhoods, and diets of our ancient ancestors?
