We discontinued our history news blog due to perpetual time deficiency. But no reason to panic, there are plenty other guys who do an excellent job.

Here are some of them:

And just for giggles, this is the constantly updated Smithsonian's amazing page on human fossils. And we quote,

While people used to think that there was a single line of human species, with one evolving after the other in an inevitable march towards modern humans, we now know this is not the case.

Like most other mammals, we are part of a large and diverse family tree.

Fossil discoveries show that the human family tree has many more branches and deeper roots than we knew about even a couple of decades ago.

In fact, the number of branches our evolutionary tree, and also the length of time, has nearly doubled since the famed ‘Lucy’ fossil skeleton was discovered in 1974!

There were periods in the past when three or four early human species lived at the same time, even in the same place. We – Homo sapiens – are now the sole surviving species in this once diverse family tree.
