hi I have a question I can't find your email so I do it like this
It's just a general question from a simple person
I was thinking if there are different hominids at the same time on earth during evolution that would also be the case at this time. How are they called? Where can I find information about that? Or haven't they found a name yet and are they all called homo sapiens?

thanks for any comment
