Where can I find out about the origin and evolution of Homo Sapiens Sapiens?

Question

Is there any websites that have this information?

Answer 1

The extra "sapiens" in our definition of ourselves, was only added on recently, to distinguish us from the sub-group, 'Homo sapiens neanderthalensis'...

That being said, Homo sapiens, or Early Modern Humans (EMH), are believed to have originated in the vicinity of the Omo Gorge of Sub-Saharan Central Africa, between 200,000 and 250,000 years ago, around rivers and lakes, which accounts for our relative hairlessness...
