The Homo genus belongs to the family Hominidae and subfamily Homininae, Subfamily Homininae contains Hominini and Gorellinini tribes. Genus homo belongs to Hominini tribe, it encompasses the extinct human relatives of Homo erectus and extant Homo sapiens. Homo erectus spread all over Africa at first, later they also migrated to Eurasia about 5,00,000 years ago, which were lived as a hunter-gatherer society and learnt to control fire. Homo erectus gradually evolved into Homo heidelbergensis, from which both Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis are likely derived. Neanderthals are extinct and closest human relatives. They are shorter then ours(Homo sapience) but their brains are as large as ours. Their distinct morphological features include skull include angled cheekbones, huge nose (for humidifying and warming the dry air) bodies are shorter and stockier made them adopted to cold environments. Neanderthals lived in shelters, they are also skilful hunters but also ate plant food, they had sophisticated tools and they controlled fire, they wore clothes, and occasionally ornaments. They also gave offerings at graves. Modern human lineage has diverged from Neanderthals, and also shared the planet with them until about 30,000 years ago. Later which there is a decline in neanderthal population with uncertain reason. The Homo sapiens widely interbred with Neanderthals and other archaic humans. The evolution of Homo sapiens may be resulted due to ''resent African evolution' according to which the modern human originated in Africa but spread all over world in later years lead to extinction of other human relatives. ''multiregional evolution'' talks against to the African centric evolution it supports the evolution of human all over world.

The most accepted evolutionary event of human is during a time of dramatic climate change 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. They also hunted and gathered the food, Like other early humans that were living at this time, they gathered and hunted food, but their behaviour evolved and which help them to survive in unstable environments. They have the lighter build of their skeletons and have large brains. They also have a thin-walled high vaulted skull with a flat and near vertical forehead unlike other.
