Hominin lineage began when the Pan and Homo lineage split. This occurred approximately 5Ma years ago, Ardipithecus were first to develop after the split.


 * Ardipithicus Kadaba Aprox. 5.6 million years ago
 * Ardipithecus ramidus Aprox. 4.3-4.5 million years ago

Followed by Australopithecine (Australopithecus)


 * Australopithecus africanus
 * Australopithecus deyiremeda
 * Australopithecus garhi
 * Australopithecus sediba
 * Australopithecus aferensis
 * Australopithecus anamensis
 * Australopithecus bahrelghazali

According to Ben Jeffares Paranthropines (Paranthropus) a now extinct group developed alongside early Homo Genus


 * Paranthropus robustus
 * Paranthropus boisei
 * Paranthropus aethiopicus

Many anthropologists and archeologist have hypothesized that climate change over time helped aide the spread and evolution of these variations. There is evidence that ecological changes and variability allowed for Hominin speciation.
