Biozone hominin timeline

Diagram showing partial timeline with hominin skulls, species names and possible evolution.

Homo sapiens are the last representative of a once extensive, multi-branched hominin evolutionary tree. Distinguishing the human lineage from all these species can be difficult and, in some cases, open to interpretation. 

This 3D interactive model shows a possible evolutionary history of hominins that allows students to click on different skulls to learn more about the different species.

This 3D model is part of a collection by: BIOZONE International.
