That's you, me and seven billion others. Early Homo sapiens (modern man) emerged about 30,000 years ago although there is some evidence in South Africa that pushes this back to about 100,000 years.

How did the homo sapiens live?

That depends on the time period. We are Homo sapiens sapiens.


Did homo sapiens live between 35000 to 40000 years ago?

Yes, Homo sapiens have been living on Earth for approximately 200,000 years. The time frame you mentioned falls well within the period when Homo sapiens existed as a species.


What time period did homo Saipan Saipans live?

Homo sapiens sapiens, or anatomically modern humans, first appeared around 300,000 years ago and are still alive today. They have existed throughout different time periods, evolving and migrating to different regions of the world.


Did homo sapiens and homo erectus live at the same time?

The oldest examples of Homo Sapiens is from the Omo remains, presumably dating back to 195,000 in Ethiopia. It was another 60,000 years until Homo Sapiens remains become prolific and visible in other parts of the world. This supports the "out of Africa" theory that Homo Sapiens, like many of the other hominid species evolved in Africa and spread out from there. Homo Erectus is mostly found in other parts of the world. There is no clear consensus within the Palaeoanthropology community whether Homo Erectus is a direct link to Homo Sapiens or whether Homo Sapiens came from within a different line that existed at the same time in Africa. There were many different hominid species that existed during this time frame, and indications are that it may be the most diverse period of hominid specie existence in the earth's history. To date, Homo Sapiens is the only known hominid with a high forehead, flat face, and thin, flat brows. It resembles much more closely Homo Heidelbergensis than Homo Erectus.


According to scientists which species might Homo sapiens have encountered in Europe?

Homo sapiens in Europe may have encountered Neanderthals, as they coexisted in the region for a period of time. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest that Homo sapiens may have also interacted with Denisovans, another ancient human species.

What other hominid's existed at the same time as humans in ancient times?

Homo neanderthalensis, or more commonly known as Neanderthals, overlapped with Homo sapiens. This group of hominids, grouped under the genus Homo, did indeed live at the same time but in different parts of the world. The only hominid species which still exists today is H. sapiens, which are modern day humans. Neanderthals went extinct about 5,000 years after Homo sapiens reached Europe, the continent in which Neanderthals are thought to have gone extinct-during a cold period in Europe.
