The early Homo sapiens in China were the so-called "archaic Homo sapiens," including Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis, who lived in China from about 1.8 million years ago until about 200,000 years ago. The late Homo sapiens in China were anatomically modern humans, who first appeared in China around 80,000 years ago and continued to evolve and develop in the region.
