If you mean the age of the species (Homo sapiens )
Age of ancient humans reassessed
Two skulls originally found in 1967 have been shown to be about 195,000 years old, making them the oldest modern human remains known to science.
The age estimate comes from a re-dating of Ethiopian rock layers close to those that yielded the remarkable fossils.

The evolutionary history of the primates, from which humans evolved, can be traced back for some 85 million years.

What year were you born?
I think you are asking about how long have Homeo sapiens been around...it depends on what you consider human. Do you mean the oldest skull that resembles humans (like cron magnums) or do you mean the oldest remains that compleatly can be calssified as "human". There are humanoids too...

1day to115 years
Finally one day, I saw in the paper that Fred Hale of Syracuse, New York, died Friday.
He had been documented as the oldest man in the world. He was 12 days shy of his 114th birthday when pneumonia finally got him.

Modern humans, homo sapiens, arose about 200,000 years ago. Prehuman ancestors of the genus Homo go back 1.5-2.5 million years.

Provided you're not a Christian creationist nut, modern humans (Homo sapiens) are said to have existed in Africa arund 200,000 years ago. However, true humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are much more modern, probably existing around 30,000 years ago.

The race has been around in its present form for a few million years. Cutting it closer involves making somewhat arbitrary judgments about which of our forebears were human enough to be called human.

Do you mean how long have humans existed on earth? Or are you asking our age?
