Early Humans

Early humans originally come from Africa. Human species have happened 6 million years ago that fossils are alive in the world.  This is sometimes referred to as the term "human evolution." Human evolution is "the lengthy process of change by which people originate from apelike ancestors." This is the reason why human evolution is really important regarding the word "early humans."

A species of humans include Australopithecus, Homo Erectus, and Homo Sapiens. Australopithecus is "one of the longest-lived and best-known early human species - paleoanthropologists have uncovered remains from more than 300 individuals!" It is found in 3.85 million years ago in Eastern Africa, which species had survived for about 900,000 years ago. Homo Erectus is an "extinct species of the human genus (Homo), perhaps an ancestor of modern humans (Homo Sapiens)." Homo Sapiens is "the first modern humans," which refers to "the early hominid predecessors" in 300,000 years ago.

Therefore, Australopithecus, Homo Erectus, and Homo Sapiens have different timelines that are related to the terms of the range and duration of their presence on the planet Earth.
