Summary Introduction

To review:

The evidences suggesting the origination of modern humans in Africa.

Introduction:

Homo sapiens or modern humans (wise men) are the existing living beings. They differ from early archaic humans or Neanderthals by having more prominent chins, less protruding brow-ridges, and having smaller build. Homo erectus survived in many environments and fossils from Asia, Africa, and Europe suggest their descendants known as archaic humans that had larger brains, rounder skulls, and smaller molars than Homo erectus.
