According to Berkley anthropology there is a human skull that was discovered to date back 160,000 years.

5+ million years according to berkley as well... depends on what you call "human" - hominids date back to before 5 million years ago.
ByGod :)

The lineages of humans and chimpanzees, our closest relatives, diverged from one another about 4.1 million years ago, according to a new estimate that is said to be far more precise than previous ranges for this critical evolutionary moment.

Homo Sapiens, are a species of the Homo genus. There were two subspecies of Homo sapiens, known as "Homo sapiens sapiens" and "Homo sapiens idaltu".

The direct ancestor, the Homo sapiens idaltu looked very similar to how modern humans look today.

What are the types of Homo Sapiens?

The two subspecies are Homo sapiens idaltu (which is thought extinct) and Homo sapiens sapiens. Some sources show Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) as a subspecies (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis).Similarly, the discovered specimens of the Homo rhodesiensis species have been classified by some as a subspecies (Homo sapiens rhodesiensis), but these last two subspecies classifications are not widely accepted by scientists.
