There are two contenders:
Homo sapiens "Man who thinks" The archaic form is dated between 500,000 and 150,000 years ago. Brain size is about 1200cc. The species shows strong links and the characteristic of Homo erectus.
Homo sapiens sapiens Modern man. The first known group appears some 40,000 years ago during the Neolithic period. However, new finds are pushing that date back.

Modern Humans, according to the evidence, suddenly appeared around 45 thousand years ago, when the Neanderthals, who bare no relation to the modern human (us), dominated this planet, as they had done for some 290 thousand years and without making very much progress during the whole of that time. Within 5 thousand years of our appearance, the Neanderthals disappeared and we, unlike the Neanderthals progressed from flint axe to space ship in about a seventh of the time it took the Neanderthals to progress to simply getting some clothes on and burying their dead.
