The oldest examples of Homo Sapiens is from the Omo remains, presumably dating back to 195,000 in Ethiopia. It was another 60,000 years until Homo Sapiens remains become prolific and visible in other parts of the world. This supports the "out of Africa" theory that Homo Sapiens, like many of the other hominid species evolved in Africa and spread out from there. Homo Erectus is mostly found in other parts of the world.
There is no clear consensus within the Palaeoanthropology community whether Homo Erectus is a direct link to Homo Sapiens or whether Homo Sapiens came from within a different line that existed at the same time in Africa.
There were many different hominid species that existed during this time frame, and indications are that it may be the most diverse period of hominid specie existence in the earth's history.
To date, Homo Sapiens is the only known hominid with a high forehead, flat face, and thin, flat brows. It resembles much more closely Homo Heidelbergensis than Homo Erectus.

Do homo erectus and sapiens have the same species?
No, H. sapiens arose out of local populations of H. erectus in Africa, Asia and Europe. Although, there is the single origin hypothesis theory that modern humans (H. Sapiens) arose out of a single population of late H. erectus in Africa around 150,000 years ago.
What weapons did homo sapiens use to kill food?
The Homo erectus probably used stone weapons with some wood attached to it.
What comes after homo erectus?
Homo sapiens is a largely biological designation and science does not allow issues of spirit to tread upon it. But the world is changing quickly. Issues of the spirit are on the rise and the next stage of human evolution already has some names floating around: homo spiritus homo sanctus It's a change in which either science, or common perception dictates that we do have spirits, and are divine, destined for immortality. http://www.paep.ca/en/CIYL/2002/doc/peck_homo_sapiens.pdf
Are homo sapien sapiens the same as homo sapiens?
No, because Homo Sapiens were very strong and muscular, but in a way yes they are like us. They look like us, talk like us, and are highly skilled and intelligent like us.
Are human beings a species or a race?
Yes, all humans are Homo sapiens. There's some disagreement over whether Neanderthal Man was a subspecies of Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis), but no reputable biologist would disagree that all modern humans are not only the same species but the same subspecies.
Do homo erectus and sapiens have the same species?
No, H. sapiens arose out of local populations of H. erectus in Africa, Asia and Europe. Although, there is the single origin hypothesis theory that modern humans (H. Sapiens) arose out of a single population of late H. erectus in Africa around 150,000 years ago.
Did homo erectus live at the same time as homo habils?
yes
What does homo sapiens cro-magnon mean?
It's the same thing. Cro-Magnon, homo sapiens, homo sapiens sapiens. They all mean modern humans.
What weapons did homo sapiens use to kill food?
The Homo erectus probably used stone weapons with some wood attached to it.
Which organism are closely related to a human?
Homo sapiens and Homo erectus

Describe the branch of direct ancestors to modern humans?
Modern humans can be traced back to both Anatomically modern Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals. Anatomically Modern Homo Sapiens share all the same physical characteristics of humans evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals also evolved 200,000 years ago but went extinct while AM Homo Sapiens lived on. Neanderthals share a great deal of characteristics with modern humans and anthropologist have suggested that Neanderthals and AM Homo Sapiens may have interbred.
Are homo sapien sapiens the same as homo sapiens?
No, because Homo Sapiens were very strong and muscular, but in a way yes they are like us. They look like us, talk like us, and are highly skilled and intelligent like us.
How did prehistoric people survive?
Are you speaking of 'Homo sapiens'? I suggest you look up homo erectus, homo habilis, and australpolithecus afarensis. The techniques that those bands used millions of years ago are the same techniques homo sapiens used. They hunted, made clothing, and also discovered farming. They were running out of food, so they tried planting old seeds that fell to the ground. The process started over and over again, thus inventing a new way of getting healthy food. Homo sapiens gathered and gathered and now we do the same. Before, Homo habilis and erectus were carnivores, eating and hunting animals. But homo sapiens are eating healthier to get energy. Since they didn't want anything to go to waste, they took the leftover bone and carved it with sharp flint so they can shoot it into the animal's heart. Homo sapiens took the skin and cleaned it, made clothes, and now they've used all the parts of the animal.
Are human beings a species or a race?
Yes, all humans are Homo sapiens. There's some disagreement over whether Neanderthal Man was a subspecies of Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) or a separate species (Homo neanderthalensis), but no reputable biologist would disagree that all modern humans are not only the same species but the same subspecies.
Did evolution help other people?
As members of the species, Homo sapiens, we are all creatures of the same evolutionary process, regardless of ethnic background. Scientists say that Homo sapiens evolved from Homo erectus in response to environmental challenges and opportunities. Differences among different ethnic groups are little more than cosmetic and simply helped different races adapt to climatic challenges.
Homo sapien sapiens or Homo sapiens sapiens?
It depends on whether you think Neandertals and modern humans were members of the same species, in which case it would be: Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (i.e., they were simply different SUB species) OR whether you think they were two separate species: Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis.Homo = our genus name'sapiens' = is our species name. Note that you ALWAYS write the genus name with the species name because two species might have the same species name. For example, Pan paniscus and Ateles paniscus.
