. But humans have been around for about 2 million years. So far research believes that humans migrated from Africa 60-90 thousand years ago. Homosapiens more likely mating with neanderthal. Neanderthal in Europe had the same set of teeth as humans did, didn't they? I wonder what the denisoven teeth were like.

This is actually inaccurate as they do not know how long humans exist and recently believe humans are much older.

Depends on what you call 'human'. H. sap. sap., very likely 200k, possibly 300k depending on where you draw the line.

Recently that timeline seems to be moving.
