Question

How old is the modern human being who walks on two feet according to archaeology findings?

Answer 1

If you are asking about the first hominin that we know had a stable bipedalism, then you are looking for Australopithecus anamensis which existed from 4.2-3.9 mya. It may not have been the first, but we have the most evidence that it was bipedal (angle of tibia, valgus angle, foot).

We know that Australopithecus afarensis (3.9-2.9mya) had a habitual bipedal stance, but also spent time in trees.

Answer 2

2.5 million years, give or take an eon, based on several man-made tools that have recently been found / dated.

Answer 3

Well, walking on two feet happened about 4-5 million years ago, very shortly after our line diverged from the Chimpanzee line. You could say it was the first step on the road to humanity. But the first upright walkers were really just two legged apes, larger brains started developing later.  Tool use started with Homo Habilus, about 2 million years ago. Modern Human beings are about 125,000 years old.

Answer 4

It’s got to be 3,412 years, 4 months, 9 days,14 hours and 12 minutes, if the timing in the KJV is correct!

But, of course, anyone who reads knows that the KJV is essentially a literarily interesting example of the placing metaphysical tales to print. !

Answer 5

Homo Sapien Sapien or "wise man," with an emphasis of wisdom is the evidence of a fully modern man. This species emerged with bones discovered at Cro Magnon in South-West France. They had left skeletons and artifacts in many parts of Europe. Here about 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, lived people probably ancestral to today's race of Caucasoids, Mongoloids and Negroids.

  

Compared to the Neanderthals, the head was relatively tall but short, with a more rounded braincase containing a slightly brain of 1400cc average capacity; an upright forehead; a straight not forward-jutting face; absent or only slight brow ridges; a smaller nose; smaller jaws; more crowded teeth; and a well-developed chin.

Modern man is believed to have arose in one place but interbred with old, local forms to help produce the races of today.

More changes occurred after the appearances of modern man. Between 30,000 and 11,000 years ago, people developed many new tools and weapons of stone, horn, wood and bone. They learned how to create cave paintings and to carve figurine. Around 9000 B.C. people began to domesticate animals, cultivate plants and work with metals.
