modern man.
Answers
Answer:
Modern humans originated in Africa within the past 200,000 years and evolved from their most likely recent common ancestor, Homo erectus, which means 'upright man' in Latin. Homo erectus is an extinct species of human that lived between 1.9 million and 135,000 years ago.
Answer:
Explanation:
The Hominidae or great apes, that ultimately evolved into the modern human being, evolved about 7 million years ago.
Around 2.5 million years later, the Ardipithecus ramidus, which could both live on trees, as well as walk about on land, roamed the earth.
Further evolution took place over the next 1.5 million years, which brought forth the Australopithecus afarensis.
Another half million years later, came the Homo Habilis, the Homo Erectus and the Homo Heidelbergensis. The modern man or Homo Sapiens are thought to have evolved about 2 - 3 million years ago in Africa.
