Estimated age: 100,000 to 90,000 years. Location: Qafzeh Cave, Israel. This specimen is one of about 21 individuals found in Qafzeh Cave. The skull and nearly complete skeleton that accompanied it belonged to a male Homo sapiens who was about 20 years old when he died. It was found buried next to the remains of a small child.
Scientific evidence says that the first modern humans, Homo sapiens, appeared more than 200,000 years ago. Some fossils from the middle Pleistocene period (about 400,000 years ago), referred to as Homo sapiens rhodesiensis, may be archaic Homo sapiens-a transitional species.
