Question
when did modern humans first appear?
a 2,000,000 years ago
b 20,000,000 years ago
c 200,000 years ago
d 20,000 years ago
Brief Explanations
Fossil and genetic evidence indicates that anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) emerged approximately 200,000 years ago in Africa. The other options are incorrect: 2,000,000 years ago corresponds to the appearance of early Homo species, 20,000,000 years ago is when early hominids evolved, and 20,000 years ago falls within the late Paleolithic period, long after modern humans first appeared.
