    Homo sapiens originated in Africa approximately 200,000 years ago and have evolved until present day. They are characterized by a lighter skeleton and smaller teeth and jaws compared to predecessors. While Homo sapiens does not have a single type specimen, Linnaeus first described the human species in 1758. Key discoveries of early Homo sapiens fossils include Cro-Magnon Man from 30,000 years ago in France and Irhoud 3 dating back 160,000 years from Morocco. Homo sapiens evolved larger brains which allowed for coping with climate change, development of villages/towns/cities, and transition to farming and herding.
