Homo rhodesiensis was created in 1921.

The Cro-Magnons are believed to be descended from earlier human populations that migrated into Europe from Africa. They are part of the same species as modern humans (Homo sapiens).

The only living species of Homo sapiens is Homo sapiens sapiens, which includes all modern humans. Other species within the genus Homo, such as Homo neanderthalensis and Homo habilis, are now extinct.

The origin of the first human race, also known as Homo sapiens, dates back to Africa around 300,000 to 200,000 years ago. Our species is believed to have evolved from earlier hominin ancestors such as Homo heidelbergensis or Homo rhodesiensis. Fossil and genetic evidence support the theory that modern humans share a common ancestry originating in Africa.
