    While many #hominid or human #ancestor skeletons have been discovered that date back millions of years, the oldest modern human (#Homosapiens) skeletons are significantly more recent. Research suggests that Homo sapiens only appeared about 200,000 to 300,000 years ago. Some of the earliest #humanremains date back to this time, while the oldest nearly complete skeletons are only about 100,000 years old.
