 | | The surviving physical evidence, from skulls such as these, suggests that the transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens, the earliest forms of our own species, occurred approximately 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. |
 | | At the same time, more detail begins to be preserved in the fossil record, such as wooden tools and weapons which give evidence of a hunting life-style. |
 | | The skull shown at far left, approximately 300,000 years old, was found near Petralona in north- eastern Greece and is the most complete find of early (or archaic) Homo sapiens. |
