5 août 297982 av. J.-C. - Homo Sapiens/Neanderthalensis
Description:
The name Homo Sapiens means "Wise Man," because they had bigger brains and were a lot smarter. They sewed their own clothes, adapted to live in warm/cold climates, and began to trade and make contact with others. They even lived on every continent but Antarctica, and their main motivation was to survive. They lived around 300,000 to 28,000 years ago, so they overlapped Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Based on the tools they made, I can infer that they were starting to get a lot smarter, and were also starting to have more and more free time to think about how to make their tools more efficient, allowing them to do a much wider range of things. I can also infer based on the video that early Homo Sapiens were not as much like humans, but their species evolved a lot, and eventually into Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Homo Sapiens, again, went North, but then kept going North, all the way into Europe.
