The species of hominid in this film are as follows:
Ulam: Homo erectus (medium build, primitive features, Acheulian tech, simple language)
Kzamm: Homo neandertalensis (stocky build, red hair, large noses, cannibalism)
Ivaka: Homo sapiens (obvious)
Wagabu: some primitive species like the Red Deer cave people.
- I'd personally swap Ulam and Kzamm. The Wagabu are pretty much Homo habilis◊...POSSIBLY Australopithecus afarensis◊.
- The Red Deer cave people are thought to have affinities with H. habilis.
- Actually the Red Deer Cave people are more likely Homo erectus. The Wagabu are a dead ringer for contemporary depictions of Australopithecines.
The species of hominid in the novel are as follows:
Oulhamr: Homo neandertalensis. Transitioning between Acheulian and Mousterian tool cultures.
Kzamm: Homo erectus. An archaic "habilis" morph like the Dmanisi hominids and the Red Deer cave people.
Red Dwarves: Homo floresiensis
Wah: Homo sapiens
Blue-haired men: Gigantopithecus blacki
Men of the trees: Pongo weidenreichi
