Homo rudolfensis

Homo rudolfensis is a type of ancient human that lived about 1.9 million years ago. They had bigger brains than other ancient humans and had a flatter face with a larger nose. They were taller and had longer legs than their ancestors, which made it easier for them to walk and run on two feet.

Think of Homo rudolfensis like a cool new animal that scientists discovered. It's like finding a new kind of dinosaur or a new creature you've never seen before. But instead of being alive today, it lived a long, long time ago. People who study these ancient humans called archeologists are always looking for new fossils or bones that can help tell us what life was like a long time ago.
