**How many early human species existed on Earth? ** The answer to this question depends on the definition of a human, the [definition of a species](https://t.me/askmenow/3651) and the degree to which you accept variation within a species. Most experts agree that our species, __Homo sapiens__ (Latin for __“wise men”__), may be the ninth and youngest human species. **__H. habilis__**: the handyman (2.4 million – 1.4 million years ago) **__H. erectus__**: the enduring hiker (1.89 million to 110.000 years ago) **__H. rudolfensis__**: the stranger (1.9 million to 1.8 million years ago) **__H. heidelbergensis__**: the hunter (700,000 to 200,000 years ago) **__H. floresiensis__**: the Hobbit (100,000 to 50,000 years ago) **__H. neanderthalensis__**: The Neanderthal (400,000 – 40,000 years ago) **__H. naledi__** (335,000 to 236,000 years ago) **__H. luzonensis__** (at least 67,000 years ago) Some scientists say that there were up to twenty early human species. There is also a growing debate about whether H. sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans are in fact all one species. Subscribe- t.me/askmenow
