According to the most recent NY Earth Science reference tables, the earliest epoch that humans existed was the Pleistocene epoch. The following epoch is the Holocene epoch, the one we currently live in.
Many scientists believe that modern humans first appeared in Africa, specifically in the region of the Great Rift Valley. This is supported by fossil and genetic evidence that suggests an African origin for our species.
Scientists believe that modern humans, or Homo sapiens, appeared in Africa around 200,000 years ago. This is based on genetic and fossil evidence that indicates the origin and migration patterns of early human populations.
The scientific name for modern humans is Homo sapiens.
The purpose of vestigial ear muscles in humans is believed to be a remnant from our evolutionary past when our ancestors could move their ears to better detect sounds or communicate nonverbally. However, in modern humans, these muscles no longer serve a functional purpose and are considered vestigial.
Homo sapiens
Modern humans, Homo sapiens, are believed to have appeared around 300,000 years ago during the Middle Pleistocene period.

Fish first appeared around 500 million years ago, whereas modern humans are believed to have originated around 200,000 years ago.
Modern humans (homo sapiens) last appeared in Brazil.
The earliest modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, are believed to have appeared around 300,000 years ago in Africa. This is based on fossil and genetic evidence.
The earliest evidence of modern humans, Homo sapiens, dates back to around 300,000 years ago during the Paleolithic era. However, our early ancestors from the genus Homo are believed to have appeared around 2.8 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch.
The earliest humans are believed to have migrated out of Africa. It is thought that modern humans originated in Africa and then spread to other continents over time.
According to the fossil records, the modern humans did appear on earth more than 130,000 years ago.
The first hominids appeared during the Miocene epoch, between 23 to 5 million years ago. This period marked the emergence of early hominids such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, ancestors of modern humans.
Modern humans have inherited certain traits from Australopithecus afarensis, such as bipedalism (walking on two legs), similar dental patterns, and the potential for longer childhood development periods. These traits are believed to have played a role in the evolution of hominins leading up to modern humans.
