Where did homo sapiens evolve?

Answer 1

Well, it started with what we call the primordial soup. First we where bacteria, then fish of some sort, then dinosaurs, chimpanzees, then "cave men" then what we are now. Of course, this happened over billions of years. Some strong believing Christians believe it was God. Maybe this was true, but there IS scientific evidence of the above. That we where bacteria and so on and so forth.

Answer 2

That depends on what you mean: solely human evolution, or the evolution from single-celled organisms to now?

Modern homo sapiens appeared around 200 thousand years ago. The previous hominids and hominins (from the most recent common ancestor with the apes) diverged and evolved gradually over the last 5 to 7 million years.

Answer 3

The main theory is that we diverged from a common ancestor with chimpanzees in Africa around 6.5 million years ago. Approximately 60,000 years ago Homo Sapiens started to move from South Africa's west coast up the west coast towards the Arabian peninsular. They then divided ,some went north through Iran and Turkey to be the ancestors of all Europeans.

Some continued across the shallow seas and followed the coastline to India and Asia.At some point a few set sail for Australia and became the ancestors of Aborigines. This has been recently determined by studying the DNA differences in the cheek cells of humans alive today. See Blombos Caves South Africa and book The Seven daughters of Eve.

Answer 4

We ...humans evolved from Primates such as Gorillas and monkeys , then occured the cave men ...the primates genes decreased when the two mated and this is how we began
