 #### Homo Sapiens
-Our own species where **Sapiens** means *The Wise*. Origin of Sapiens is still unknown but it is well accepted that around 150k years, we were wide spread in East-Africa.
+Our own species where **Sapiens** means *The Wise*. Origin of Sapiens is still unknown but it is well accepted that around 150k years, we were wide spread in East-Africa. The recently known example of [[ancient_tribes]] of Sapiens is **Ache people** from Paraguay, South America. The oldest fossil found from these tribes is around 9000 years old.
 #### Homo Neanderthalensis
-This species is our closest ancestor who roam on earth--Europe and Western Asia--till 200k ((citation needed)) years ago. They were found in Neander valley in Germany, and thats how they got their name. Nearnderthal were assumed to be barbarians with no culture, which was challenged by many including **Ralph Solecki** by his findings in **Shanidar Caves**: an archaelogical site in Kurdistan region of modern day Iraq.

 The time-span of Neanderthal's existence is way more bigger than ours and yet it is unclear why did they disappear. There are two theories: interbreed and dominating, that describe the possible reason of their appearance.
-#### Homo Rudoflensis

 #### Homo Erectus

 #### Homo Floresiensis
+Another amazing species found in Indonesia but on another island known as 'The island of Flores'. This species underwent dwarfing with maximum height of 3.5 feet. This was explained using rising sea level which disconnected this island, resulting scares food sources. Big ones couldn't get enough food and died from malnourishment. Small bodies were well suited for survival here, so over generation became dwarf[(#1)].
+Another interesting fact about this island is existance of dwarf elephants at similar time as Homo floresienis.
 #### Homoe Densiova
+This species (only fossilised finger) was found in Siberian cave known as Denisova.
 #### Homo Ergaster
+Species from East-Africa that is also known as 'Working Man'. This name is derived due to their ability to use tools. The fossils were discoverd in Lake Turkana, Keyna that indicate the time of their existence was 1.7-1.4 million years ago.
+#### Homo Rudoflensis
+Another species from East-Africa that was found in lake Rudolf (aka Lake Turkana), Kenya. The fossil was around two million years old.
