Document Summary
In the last section we were introduced to some of the more important fossils that many researchers consider to be the first representatives of the species homo sapiens - our immediate, direct ancestors. These potentially appear as early as 250,000 years ago, but certainly by at least. 150,000 years ago we have anatomically modern humans, although some still exhibit some slightly robust characteristics. In this unit we will examine what we know about true modern humans: homo sapiens sapiens. It is the case that up until around 30,000 years ago there was always some variety of hominins in the world, including 4 or 5 just within the last. 100,000 years: us anatomically modern humans, neandertals, the new species identified from dna recovered from a finger bone from denisova. Cave in siberia, homo floresiensis on java, and possibly homo erectus in. Hypothesis: and the other is generally referred to as the regional continuity.
