georgerm Posted Saturday at 12:16 PM Posted Saturday at 12:16 PM (edited) Of all the paleontologist in the world, they have found fossil remains of 13 separate homo species that are extinct. We have skulls of the Homo ergaster, Homo georgicus, Homo floresiensis, Homo rhodesiensis, Homo naledi, Homo neanderthalensis, and finally Homo rudolfensis. This means we have very active paleontologist that have discovered other Homo species so is this 3' to 4' humanoid ape that lives in East Africa one of these humanoid apes that we know of?

georgerm Posted Saturday at 02:59 PM Posted Saturday at 02:59 PM (edited) Yes, we Homo sapiens are considered to be a Humanoid ape. Just don't act like one! For sake of clarity, we will call this small, reported East African ape the Homo africana. It has been reported by villagers and explorers. However, it may be part of the Pan genera along with Chimpanzees and Bonobos. They don't appear to part of the Gorilla genera or the Pongo genera that includes orangatangs due to body structure, long hair, and living in trees. This small 3' to 4' East African ape that walks up right, is covered with medium to short hair, and appears to be one of the extant or surviving humanoid apes is yet to be captured. The four categories of the humanoid ape genera are the Homo, Pan, Gorilla and the Pongo. Which genera is this ape in? If you are a young fit explorer, and have the funds hire a crew to live in the Jungle of East Africa and document the Homo africana, then go for it. Homo africana walks upright like Homo sapiens. We don't know if they have language or use tools like the Homo sapiens. Just think, we may have another Homo genus creature that shares the Earth with us! We have bones and skulls of all the other extinct Homo creatures and Homo africana may be part of this group or a new one to add to the Homo creatures. Edited Saturday at 03:02 PM by georgerm

norseman Posted 21 hours ago Admin Author Posted 21 hours ago Same problem with proving any extant species is proof. Albeit east Africa would be a place that Anthropologists would bet on for a undiscovered human cousin over North America.

If I was young and loaded with money.................... that would be a great adventure. I would hire some zoologist, a camp buckaroo, a medic and go for the discovery in East Africa! I think an Australopithecus is running around in the jungle there! 1
Huntster Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago If there are any hominins running around wild in Africa, I would suspect they would be in the central sub-Saharan region.

I'm not familiar with that part of Africa and there probably were ancient primates living there. The Australopithecus that Norse is talking about is running around East Africa, and there are recent sightings. It's about 4' tall, runs around on two legs, probably hunts rodents, and eats fruit off trees. You might watch Norse's video on the creature. Good video. Ok, get your car work done and talke the wife for a walk.................................. talk with you later. Australopithecus africanus is an extinct species of australopithecine which lived between about 3.3 and 2.1 million years ago in the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene of South Africa.
