Late Miocene (7.2–5.5 million years old)

Further information: Chimpanzee–human last common ancestor, Ardipithecus, Sahelanthropus, Homininae, and Hominini

The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place around 10 to 7 million years ago.¹ The list of fossils begins with Graecopithecus, dated some 7.2 million years ago, which may or may not still be ancestral to both the human and the chimpanzee lineage. For the earlier history of the human lineage, see Timeline of human evolution#Hominidae, Hominidae#Phylogeny.

Pliocene (5.3–2.58 million years old)

Further information: Kenyanthropus, Australopithecus, and Paranthropus

Pleistocene

Lower Paleolithic: 2.58–0.3 million years old

Further information: Australopithecus, Paranthropus, Homo, and Homo erectus

Middle Paleolithic: 300,000–50,000 years old

Further information: Middle Stone Age, Southern Dispersal, Archaic humans, and Anatomically modern humans

Upper Paleolithic: 50,000–11,500 years old

Further information: Archaic humans, Anatomically modern humans, Archaic admixture, Recent human evolution, and Epipalaeolithic

Further information: European early modern humans § Assemblages and fossils

Holocene (11,500–5,000 years old)

Further information: Recent human evolution, Late Stone Age, Mesolithic, and Neolithic

"A similar type of ferricrete on Kerala coast has been dated by electron spin resonance to 0.187 million years. Therefore, more or less the same age can be assigned to the ferricrete at Odai and to the infant baby skull found within it. In the hominid evolutionary stage this may belong to the Homo erectus or Homo sapiens (Archaic)" https://doi.org/10.5334%2Faa.06102 ↩

173. Wadjak 1 and Wadjak 2 are fossil human skulls discovered near Wajak, a town in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia in 1888/90. Dubbed "Wajak Man", and formerly classified as a separate species (Homo wadjakensis), the skulls are now recognized as early anatomically modern human. They were dated to the Holocene, 12 to 5 ka, in the 1990s, but this has been revised in a 2013 study which claimed a far earlier date, "a minimum age of between 37.4 and 28.5 ka".
