How old is the human species?

Answer 1

Modern man - 100,000 years old.

Answer 2

It depends on what exactly you mean by human.

The oldest Homo sapiens fossil we have currently found are somewhere between 280,000 and 350,000 years old (315kya +/- 34kya).

However, those we identify as anatomically modern human, Homo sapiens sapiens, are dated back to around 200,000 years ago by mtDNA analysis. The older fossils may be Homo sapiens sapiens, but we can't rule out the possibility that they weren't of a separate closely related subspecies.

The other way to look at it is that any species in the Homo genus may be classified as a human, they are often referred to as archaic humans. The oldest known Homo habilis fossils date to between 1.65 million to 2.3 million years ago.

Answer 5

A bit more than 6 thousand years, since the beginning of creation.

Answer 6

While our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it is only about 6,000 years old, and industrialization started in the earnest only in the 1800s.

Answer 7

'bout 300,000 years old, but those guys may not have been the same subspecies as us.  For a more modern look, that'd be the Omo fossils of about 195,000 years ago.

Answer 8

Current scholarship suggests 200,000 years ago as the first appearance of skeletons of modern Homo Sapiens.

Answer 9

Depends on your definition of human.

If you include all H. groups then you're looking at several hundred thousand years, minimum.

Conversely, if you trust a collection of writings compiled by Anthropocene scribes and goatherds, then it's somewhere around 6000 years.
