The H omo part of Homo naledi indicates that it's part of the same genus — a wider classification than species — as modern humans. But even that part is up for debate.

The Dmanisi hominins are likely something in between what we know as Homo erectus and an older, smaller member of our genus like Homo habilis (which lived between 2.4 and 1.4 million years ago).

The current dominant theory holds that Homo sapiens evolved from a single, local population of a previous species of the genus Homo somewhere in Africa, between roughly 300,000 and 100,000 years ago.
