200.000 years ago is the approximate starting era of what is known as the modern man, or Homo Sapiens if you like.
Skeletons dated that far back are showing signs of evolution towards "ours" .
Homo sapiens
The first member of our genus, Homo, was Homo habilis, which evolved 2.3 million years ago. The first anatomically modern Homo sapiens, our species, evolved 200,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens apparently evolved from versions of Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis.
Before Homo sapiens, there were several other hominin species that lived on Earth, such as Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthals), Homo erectus, and Homo habilis. These species evolved over millions of years before Homo sapiens emerged as the only surviving species of the Homo genus.
Homo Sapiens -wise man -appeared c. 400 000-200 000 years ago.
Homo habilis evolved in Africa around two million years ago!
Dinosaurs existed from 225 million years ago to 65.5 million years ago. The earliest species belonging to the genus Homo, the genus that humans belong to, was Homo habilis, which lived 2.3 million years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, evolved only 200,000 years ago.
Humans, or Homo sapiens, belong to the genus Homo and have been present on Earth for around 300,000 years. They are believed to have evolved from earlier species of hominids, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis. The exact order of appearance of different Homo species is still a subject of research and debate among scientists.
Homo sapiens, as modern humans, are the only surviving species of the genus Homo. They are found worldwide as the dominant human species. They last evolved in Africa around 300,000 years ago and have since spread across the globe.
Modern humans, the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, evolved from Homo heidelbergensis, our common ancestor with Neanderthals; neither group evolved from the other, but are instead "sibling" species.All humans, the genus Homo and the species it includes, evolved from the initial Homo habilis, itself evolving from a non-Homo australopithecine species, apparently Kenyanthropus platyops but other possibilities occur.
Modern Homo sapiens first evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago.
Homo sapiens, the species to which modern humans belong, originated in Africa around 300,000 years ago. They evolved from earlier hominid species like Homo erectus and eventually migrated out of Africa to populate the rest of the world.
