Who is the first human-like hominid?

Homo habilis is commonly known as the “handy man” because the fossil study revealed that this primitive human race used ancient stone tools. Homo habilis was the earliest known human.

Homo erectus is called the Java man because the first fossil remains were discovered on the island of Java.

The skull of the Pecking Man (a subspecies within Homo erectus) was excavated from a site near Peking (Beijing), China.

Homo heidelbergensis, the Heidelberg man is considered to be the last common ancestor of the Neanderthal man and present-day Homo sapiens. The fossil remains of the cranium were discovered at a site near Heidelberg, Germany.
