When did anatomically modern humans 1st inhabit different parts of the world?

The experts in Spain are sitting on anatomically modern bones that they have named "Homo Antecessor". These ancient humans had a completely flat face the same as ours, and light bones with shallow muscle inserts, same as ours. However, since Homo Antecessor can be proven conclusively to be at least 800, 000 years old. It is beyond dispute that Homo Antecessor is totally modern and definitely not a predecessor of homo Neanderthal as claimed by the Spanish who are sitting on this find and keeping it misunderstood.

Why do you call your ancestors ancestors?

"Ancestor" is the English word for those from whom you are descended. You use that word because that is what the word is. In many ways words are arbitrary sounds that are agreed to have a particular meaning.The English word ancestor comes from the Old French word ancestre. This in turn comes from the Latin word antecessor. They all derive from from the Latin verb antecedere, meaning to precede or go before, which is what an ancestor did.So your ancestor's ancestor is also your ancestor. We do not need or have a separate word for that in English.
