Timeline Of Early Humans (Large Display) in a child's hands
The Timeline of Early Humans, following the line from the early Australopithecines to modern humans, and built on current research rather than the version most adults were taught. That matters here more than on any other timeline: this is the part of the story that has changed most in the last thirty years, and a chart printed from memory would be wrong in specific, checkable ways. Large display, durable plastic. The other timelines are separate items.
