[141] [142] [143] [52] Fossilized skulls shows the brain size in early humans fell within the range of modern humans 300,000 years ago, but only got its present-day brain shape between 100,000 and 35,000 years ago. [144] The size and shape of the skull changed over time. The leftmost, and largest, is a replica of a modern human skull.
It is the sovereign state with the shortest history of human settlement (followed by Mauritius). [122] East Pacific: Floreana Island: 1805: Black Beach: First settled 1805–1809 by Patrick Watkins. Later attempts in 1837, 1893, 1925, and 1929. [123] South Atlantic: Tristan da Cunha: 1810: First settled by Jonathan Lambert and two other men ...
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.
When and how early humans first migrated to the Americas has long been debated and remains poorly understood. Current estimates for the first inhabitants range from 13,000 years ago to more than ...
Early humans were social and initially scavenged, before becoming active hunters. The need to communicate and hunt prey efficiently in a new, fluctuating environment (where the locations of resources need to be memorized and told) may have driven the expansion of the brain from 2 to 0.8 Ma. Evolution of dark skin at about 1.2 Ma. [39]

Early modern human expansion in sub-Saharan Africa appears to have contributed to the end of late Acheulean industries at about 130,000 years ago, although very late coexistence of archaic and early modern humans, until as late as 12,000 years ago, has been argued for West Africa in particular.

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. [53] [54]
