Modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are estimated to be about 200,000 years old. The genus homo appears approxiamtely 2.3-2.4 million years ago, and other evolutionary ancestors appear older than that. An evolutionary split called the human-chimpanzee diveregence occured ~6 million years ago. The oldest known fossil thought to be a hominid ancestor (Sahelanthropus tchadensis) dates back to 7 million years ago.
