The following charts give a brief overview of several notable fossil finds relating to human evolution. As there are thousands of fossils, this overview is not meant to be complete, but does show the most important finds. The fossils are arranged by approximate age as determined by radiometric dating and/or incremental dating. The species name represents current consensus, when there is no clear scientific consensus the other possible classifications are indicated; deprecated classifications may be found on the fossil's page. Not all the fossils shown are considered direct ancestors to Homo sapiens but are very closely related to direct ancestors and are therefore important to the study of the lineage. FOSSIL is a standard for allowing serial communication for telecommunications programs under DOS. FOSSIL is an acronym for Fido Opus Seadog Standard Interface Layer. ... // For the history of humans on Earth, see History of the world. ... Radiometric dating is a technique used to date materials based on a knowledge of the decay rates of naturally occurring isotopes, and the current abundances. ... Incremental dating techniques allow the construction of year-by-year annual chronologies, which can be fixed ( linked to the present day and thus calendar or sidereal time) or floating. ... Homo sapiens (Latin: wise man) is the scientific name for the human species. ...
