Homo Sapiens Sapiens
It is believed that modern humans
like you and I first originated on the Earth around
50,000 years ago in Africa. These modern humans are
referred to by historians as Homo sapiens sapiens.
Within just a few thousand years these modern humans had
spread to every continent across the entire planet, and
onto many islands.
As Homo sapiens sapiens migrated
outward from Africa, it is believed that they wiped out
Neanderthals, either by absorbing them through
intermarriage, or by destroying them through war and
competition.
