The oldest member of the genus “homo” was homo rudolfensis (2.5 to 1.9 Ma) and homo habilis (2.1 to 1.5 Ma). Homo erectus live around 2 Ma. The Pliocene extends from 5.33 Ma to 2.58 Ma. It was not until the Pleistocene that the first member of homo lived on Earth. The remains of the oldest members of homo sapiens are much younger and were discovered at Jebel Irhoud in Morocco 300000 years ago.
