A Story To Tell
This bone fragment has a fascinating story to tell about the evolution of the human race. Everyone today is a member of the Homo sapiens species, which first appeared between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. It has, however, been the case for a long time, as prehistory buffs know.
The Homo Sapiens
The Australopithecines were in fact the oldest known human ancestors. Numerous species were found that could both climb and walk on two legs. These Homo sapiens’ ancestors first appeared in Africa around four million years ago, according to a study. And, of course, they would have looked quite a little different than we do today.
