Is a human just Homo sapiens sapiens? Do other advanced members of the genus Homo count? I mean, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and that unnamed third species from Africa could all breed with us, and they were different species with advanced behaviors. What about other bipedal apes known as hominins? If tigers and cougars are all considered cats, then shouldn't they be "humans"?

>and that unnamed third species
never heard of such. you mean h. sapiens idaltu or h. heidelbergensis?
>>453377
No, not idaltu, although that probably did happen (which is why the only race of human is extinct now, kek). It might be Heidelbergensis though.

How can one man be so wrong?
Also, IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BROKEN?
>>453356
Homo's can't breed, you need a man and a woman for that, Homo's can not breed inside an anus.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

trying too hard
I'd say humanity starts with homo erectus, and that's the direction that experts are going nowadays too, and that homo habilis should instead be considered an australopithecus.
With homo erectus begins language and other modes of cultural expression, human-type social organisation, and ritualistic behaviour. Morphologically too, most homo erectus could practically pass for human today.
>>453773
To clarify the morphological part, if you saw a homo erectus you'd most likely think it's a human. If you saw a homo habilis you'd most likely think it's some kind of ape.
But again the defining difference is socio-cultural.
>>453773
Humanity should begin with Homo naledi, as it appears to be older than Erectus but has many modern traits.
>>453773
>>453781
Erectus is human from the neck down. Can we mention that Homo erectus is probably the most diverse human species ever? All those varying skull shapes that blow Homo sapiens out of the water with our differences. Compare the small brained H. erectus georgicus to Turkana Boy or Java Man.
>>453498
This desu. All they care about is their fucking dicks. There's a reason the former Homos where called Homos Erectus.

Dude, please. Your all caps seriously hurt my eyes and prevent me from even finfing out you have anything decent to say. I almost hope you get banned for not writing like a normal human being.
>>453916
Modern humans aren't really the best species for comparison when it comes to diversity though. Since we relatively recently in our evolution experienced a quite severe population bottleneck, we are one of the primates with least variety. Until recently when our existence started to seriously harm other primate population that is of course.

Doesn't the fact that these allegedly separate species could breed fertile children with Homo sapiens sapiens prove that they're of the same species?
>>453464
Dumb thieving vaporwave scum
>>454466
No, because there are many animals of separate species that have fertile children with each other.
It's very simple. If what I'm looking at is like me, I'll probably like it more. If it isn't, then I'm less likely to like it, depending on what I think is most important.
Note that when I say "like me" it doesn't necessarily mean physical appearance
>>453356
Homo sapiens sapiens is by definition the species which currently exists, we possess DNA from other populations classified as different species, which are now extinct.
A species is a population which exchanges genetic material over time in nature (bacteria pls)
>>453356
The following will be proven in the near future
>Modern man out of Africa + Neanderthal = homo sapiens sapiens, the WHITE man
>Original African man as we were before mixing with the Neanderthals = BLACK race
>ASIANS = mix of African man + local races and local races and homo sapiens sapiens and also Neanderthal + local races
>>453773
>begins language and other cultural-expression
How? Vocal cord fossil remains? Written language(lol)? Cave paintings?
Even "species" is just part of a biological continuum on which all life on Earth is connected. Nature doesn't classify her creatures.

>>457388
Not him, but the fact that they could sail (see discoveries at Flores) is pretty good evidence, especially combined with the fact that they made art (only a few such artifacts remain, but judging by modern societies it's probable that they did art using mostly perishable materials). It's only a speculation, but a plausible one.

Its a german town you retard

It's a lot more complicated than that.
>>457368
good bait :^)

Get out, all "jewish" names are German.
The one that wears clothes. Because pockets.

So Heidelbergensis and onward?

*Yes.
Holy shit this was on page 11. And that doesn't even exist.
