Were did we ‘Migrate’

Homo sapiens migrated everywhere. Since we are all a little different from homo sapiens. Human kind off ‘rules’ the world and that is because primitive homo sapiens traveled around the world.

DIET

Homo sapiens spend most of their time looking for food. They gathered plants, and hunted or found dead animals. About 164,000 years ago they were collecting and cooking shellfish. Nowadays we eat a very wide range of meat and plants.

MISCELLANEOUSFACTS

Homo sapiens appeared about 200,000 years ago. They lived in tribes and had trading groups where they exchanged goods.Homo means human and sapiens means wise in Latin.

Homo sapiens have beliefs that are called religions. There are thousand of different religions including Christianity, Buddhism, and Islamism. Homo sapiens used to disagree about which religion is better. Depending on the religion, homo sapiens today celebrate different special occasions such as holidays, marriage, and the coming of age.
