Classification of fossil humans.

 Throughout the ancestors of mankind who lived in the past, they are called primitive humans or fossil humans. This is because it is found in the form of fossils. Fossil humans are largely divided into two categories: the Australopithecus family and the Homo family.

  It was Swedish scientist Linne who came up with ways to classify fossil humans. As human fossils continued to be discovered, it became necessary to divide the types of fossils. So Linne named it "Homo," which means a person, and named it "Electus," which means the appearance of excavated fossils, the place where they were glued, and relics in common, and it named it "Sapiens." Australopithecus does not use the term homo, but classifies it separately. They walk on two feet, but the size of the brain and the overall shape of the skull are close to apes and differ from other fossil humans, so they are named separately.

  You don't have to follow the classification method of linen. It's just one of the widely used methods. Sometimes the excavator gives its own name. Australopithecus Aparensis, thought to be the first human being, was named because it was found in Apar in northern Ethiopia, but is better known by another name, Lucy. When American anthropologists Donald Johansson and Tom Gray discovered fossils in 1974, they named the fossils Lucy because the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamond" was heard.
