So when did Homo Sapien enter the picture? (from both a fossile and historic record?) Not our "ancestors" but "us"? |
Homo Erectus some 1.5 - 1 million years ago, Homo Sapiens some 1/2 a million years ago.
"Lucy" is an Australopithecus Ramidus .. some 3.2 million years ago. they found something that dates back a bit farther than lucy. and judging by the bone structure was a bi-ped. which dates back to almost 4 million years ago.
