I guess evolutionary change is gradual so it's hard to have a cut off date for when pre homo sapien ancestors had kids that counted as homo sapiens. The origins of cooking going back 1.9 million years implies the ancestors must have been a bit human like. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/aug/22/cooking-orig...

Evolution is not single speed. For a relatively static population with no need to change their lifestyle it will run more slowly. For a dynamic population with bottlenecks it can run very quickly.
