History of Homo sapiens

Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically

modern humans solely in Africa, between
200,000 and 100,000 years ago, with
members of one branch leaving Africa by
60,000 years ago and over time replacing
earlier human populations such as
Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
About
Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. Like other early
humans that were living at this time, they gathered and
hunted food, and evolved behaviors that helped them
respond to the challenges of survival in unstable
environments.

Prehistoric Homo sapiens not only made and used

stone tools, they also specialized them and made a
variety of smaller, more complex, refined and
specialized tools including composite stone tools,
fishhooks and harpoons, bows and arrows, spear
throwers and sewing needles.
continued
Humans learned to use tools around 3.4 million years ago,
specifically upper paleolithic blade technology. This included
bone, stone and stick combinations.
