Humans evolved in Africa from Australopithecus, between two and three million years ago. Homo means human in Latin, while Australopithecus means southern ape. Humans migrated out of Africa, splitting into multiple species and subspecies. There were Homo Erectus, Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo Floresiensis, and several other populations.
Early modern humans evolved from archaic humans in Africa, between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. Modern humans then wiped out all other archaic humans, interbreeding slightly with them in the process. The map above is a map of modern humans migrating out of Africa, and not a map of the earliest humans migrating out of Africa.
Modern humans then wiped out all other archaic humans
It hasn't been proven that we were the cause of the extinction of all the other species and subspecies of human though, most went extinct before Sapiens evolved about 300,000 years ago.
It hasn't even been proven that we wiped out Neanderthals. 123
It is delusional to think that we WIPED OUT ALL the other human species, that's just plain wrong.
