when did humans arrive in europe
Modern Man (Homo sapiens sapiens) arrived relatively recently in Europe (~40,000 years ago) compared to colonization that occurred in South East Asia and Australia which date back more than 55,000 years ago.o when modern humans decided to look west rather than east while pondering their future in a cold Central Asia they would have found Europe already occupied by Homo neanderthalensis, who had separated from the main evolutionary line some 500,000 years ago.
