may 2, 315000 BC - homo sapiens sapiens
Description:
320,000 years ago to 200,000
We evolved only relatively recently but with complex culture and technology have been able to spread throughout the world and occupy a range of different environments. This resulted in a species that is highly variable in physical appearance, despite the fact that we are almost genetically identical to each other.
Compared to the Neandertals and other late archaic humans, modern humans generally have more delicate skeletons.
It is now clear that early Homo sapiens, or modern humans, did not come after the Neandertals but were their contemporaries.
Migration: Around jebel faya
