The use of fire enabled early humans to cook food, provide warmth, have a light source, deter animals at night and meditate. [24] [25] Early Homo sapiens originated some 300,000 years ago, [26] ushering in the Middle Palaeolithic. Anatomic changes indicating modern language capacity also arise during the Middle Palaeolithic. [27]
Human history is the record of humankind from prehistory to the present. Modern humans evolved in Africa around 300,000 years ago and initially lived as hunter-gatherers.They migrated out of Africa during the Last Ice Age and had spread across Earth's continental land except Antarctica by the end of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago.
NEW YORK (AP) — Researchers have uncovered a simple structure from the Stone Age that may be the oldest evidence yet of early humans building with wood. The construction is basic: a pair of ...
The early modern human vocal apparatus is generally thought to have been the same as that in present-day humans, as the present-day variation of the FOXP2 gene associated with the neurological prerequisites for speech and language ability seems to have evolved within the last 100,000 years, [124] and the modern human hyoid bone (which supports ...
Over this 7,000-year time frame, early humans encountered Neanderthals, had sex and gave birth to children on a fairly regular basis. The height of the activity was 47,000 years ago, the study ...
Paleontologists are revealing early humans actually co-existed with a human-like species some 300,00 years ago. The cousin of homo sapiens, called homo naledi, was discovered in 2013 in a cave ...
Unlike the Early European modern humans that inhabited Europe earlier, these populations form part of the ancestry of modern Europe. [35] 36 kya: Evidence of humans using fibers in a cave in present-day Georgia. [50] [51] 33 kya: Earliest evidence of humanoids in Ireland. [52] 33 kya – 22 kya: Gravettian period in Europe.

Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests both modern humans and Neanderthals lived side-by-side in Eurasia for between 6,000 and 7,000 years.
