Note that the division of extinct members of the genus Homo is still under discussion. H. habilis, H. erectus and (of course) H. sapiens are generally recognized, but H. rudolfensis and H. ergaster are sometimes classified under H. habilis and H. erectus respectively, while H. heidelbergensis and H. neanderthalensis are sometimes classified as sub-species of H. sapiens, thus giving
- Species habilis (extinct)
- Subspecies rudolfensis[?] (extinct)
- Species erectus (extinct)
- Subspecies ergaster[?] (extinct)
- Species sapiens
- Subspecies heidelbergensis[?] (extinct)
- Subspecies neanderthalensis (extinct)
