East and southern Africa are among the earliest regions where modern humans (Homo sapiens ) and their predecessors are believed to have lived. In September 2019, scientists reported the computerized determination, based on 260CT scans , of a virtualskull shape of the last common human ancestor tomodern humans /H. sapiens , representative of the earliest modern humans, and suggested that modern humans arose between 350,000 and 260,000 years ago through a merging of populations in South and East Africa.[ 14] [ 15]
