Examples of sapiens in a Sentence

1. Mathew Stewart:

   It is only after the last interglacial [ period ] with the return of cooler conditions that we have definitive evidence for Neanderthals moving into the region, the footprints, therefore, most likely represent humans, or Homo sapiens.

2. Christopher Stringer:

   These methods were applied to 95 representative fossils and over 600 metrical and morphological traits, and the analyses revealed 3 main clades of later Pleistocene humans: H. sapiens, H. neanderthalensis and a group containing Harbin and other Chinese fossils such as Dali, Jinniushan and Xiahe.

3. Martin Tobias Lithner:

4. Greta Thunberg:

5. Chris Stringer:

   This in turn may reinforce the idea that the successful spread of modern humans from Africa after about 60,000 years ago played at least a role, if not the most significant role, in the physical extinction of other forms of humans outside of Africa, however, at least some of those other forms of human did not go completely extinct, since their DNA lives on in us today through ancient interbreeding between the archaic and early modern populations. This leaves open the fascinating possibility that even floresiensis might have contributed some of its DNA to living groups in the region, if there was at least a short overlap between floresiensis and sapiens about 50,000 years ago.
