  • Title: Origin and evolution of the genus Homo.
    Author: Wood B.
    Journal: Nature; 1992 Feb 27; 355(6363):783-90. PubMed ID: 1538759.
    Abstract:
    It is remarkable that the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the earliest known representatives of our own genus, Homo, remain obscure. Advances in techniques for absolute dating and reassessments of the fossils themselves have rendered untenable a simple unilineal model of human evolution, in which Homo habilis succeeded the australopithecines and then evolved via H. erectus into H. sapiens-but no clear alternative consensus has yet emerged.
