Answer:
Throughout time humans have evolved from being one of the most simple minded beings, into now, one of the most intellectual and dominant species alive.
According to my sources, "the first modern humans, evolved form their early hominid predecessors between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago. They developed a capacity for language about 50,000 years ago. The first modern humans soon began moving outside of present day Africa about 70,000-100,000 years ago."
Now, human beings accomplished many things. Being able to raise livestock, communicate in a language that other creatures are unable to understand, creating their own economy, and many other things (you can list more here).
Unlike any other creatures such as dinosaurs, human beings have been able to live through many disasters, and are the most dominant species alive.
I hope this somehow helped.
