The First Humans
\\n
\\n One of the earliest known humans is Homo habilis, or \\u201chandy man,\\u201d who lived about 2.4 million to 1.4 million years ago in Eastern and Southern Africa
\\n
\\n300,000 years ago
\\nBones of primitive Homo sapiens first appear 300,000 years ago in Africa, with brains as large or larger than ours. They\'re followed by anatomically modern Homo sapiens at least 200,000 years ago, and brain shape became essentially modern by at least 100,000 years ago.
\\n
\\nHumans and Evolving:
\\n
\\napproximately six million years
\\nHuman evolution is the lengthy process of change by which people originated from apelike ancestors. Scientific evidence shows that the physical and behavioral traits shared by all people originated from apelike ancestors and evolved over a period of approximately six million years.
\\n
\\nIn addition to these early humans, researchers have found evidence of an unknown \\u201csuperarchaic\\u201d group that separated from other humans in Africa around two million years ago. These superarchaic humans mated with the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovans, according to a paper published in Science Advances in February 2020. This marks the earliest known instance of human groups
