NONE of this is exact, but approximately 40,000 to 60,000 years age the first modern humans appeared.

Proto-Humans split off from proto-chimps about 5 million years ago.

Small tree huggers with hands and big eyes showed up about 100 million years ago.

Mammals first existed about 250 million years ago, more or less simultaneously with the dinosaurs.

The human species, also called homo sapiens sapiens, evolved slowly over a period of approximately 5-8 million years before the present, starting by separating from a common ancestor between mankind and our closest ape relatives. Modern humans, as we know them today, emerged around 100-500 thousand years before present in Africa (according to the Out of Africa Hypothesis) from a small founding population. They spread out from East Africa around 100 thousand years ago and eventually inhabited the known world.
