Zamadamu

Zamadamu walikuwa wanyama wenye umbile lililokaribiana na mwili wa binadamu kuliko hata sokwe.

Binadamu wanadhaniwa kuwa walitokana na hao wa kwanza miaka laki kadhaa iliyopita, labda kwa kupitia spishi nyingine za jenasi "homo". 

Kwa sasa hakuna tena zamadamu hai duniani, ila mabaki ya mizoga yao yanazidi kupatikana hasa barani Afrika.
