Homo sapiens is a significant part of the biological classification to which modern human beings belong. In Latin, this concept means wise, clever, or knowledgeable man. It was first introduced in the middle of the 18th century to prove that humans physically resemble primates.
The oldest remains of Homo sapiens were found in Morocco more than 300,000 years ago. However, there are a number of distinctive physiological characteristics, including body structure and cognitive features. At this moment, Homo sapiens is the only existing type, completing the line of Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
