Early Modern Homo sapiens. All people today are classified as Homo sapiens. Our species of humans first began to evolve nearly 200,000 years ago in association with technologies not unlike those of the early Neandertals. It is now clear that early Homo sapiens, or modern humans, did not come after the Neandertals but were their contemporaries.
The first evidence of humans in Italy was approximetly 100, 000 years ago. But these humans were not homo sapiens sapiens such as modern human beings. The people occupying Italy at the time were a less advanced form of humans called home erectus. These humans were thought to have live fairly close to were Rome was first established. Flint axes were found at a site caled Torrimpietra that is to the west of Rome (kidipede).
