Detailed explanation-1: -So far, the earliest finds of modern Homo sapiens skeletons come from Africa. They date to nearly 200, 000 years ago on that continent. They appear in Southwest Asia around 100, 000 years ago and elsewhere in the Old World by 60, 000-40, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humans are found on every continent in the world, but the reason we think our ancestors came from Africa is because of both fossil and DNA evidence. We’ve looked for fossils from our ancient human ancestors all over the world. Of all of these, the oldest fossils we’ve discovered were found in Africa.
Detailed explanation-3: -By about 200, 000 years ago the primitive Homo sapiens had evolved into what we now call modern humans. These modern humans were as intelligent as we are today, and could speak using language just as we do today. “Homo sapiens” means “wise humans”.
