their best relatives
"Human beings (that's us) are known as homo sapiens sapiens. DNA testing has shown that the closest relative of human beings is Neanderthal Man (homo sapiens neanderthalus). Neanderthal Man is now extinct. The closest living of human beings now is the chimpanzee. Neanderthal Man was a much closer relative to us than the chimpanzee." =============================Mitochondrial DNA testing shows that Neanderthal WAS NOT a genetic ancestor to modern H.Sapiens - but only similar kind of species . Refer to National Geographic:http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/neanderthal-code-3228/04#tab-evolving-view-4 ============================= I hope I did not give anyone the impression that Neanderthal man was our ancestor. The relationship is more like a cousin. How close a cousin Neanderthal man was to us is a good question, but Neanderthal Man was much closer to us than is the chimpanzee.
Modern human beings belong to the species Homo sapiens.
yes...yes they did.
modern Human beings are called "Homo sapiens"
Africa
The phylum Chordata is considered to be the closest relative to humans. Within Chordata, the subphylum Vertebrata, which includes animals with a backbone, is the most closely related to humans.
There aren't any (you're not a plant); The closest relative would be the mitochondria.
The first human beings of the fully modern type are called Homo sapiens. They evolved around 200,000 years ago in Africa and eventually spread to other parts of the world.
Chimpanzees and bonobos are considered to be the closest living relatives of humans. They share about 98-99% of their DNA with humans and are believed to have split from a common ancestor with humans around 6-8 million years ago.
Africa
Do todays human beings belong to the homo spaien sapien subspecies?
i think it is bcoz of the most advanced and modern technologies used by human beings.
