Homo sapiens, or wise men, are the direct ancestor of homo sapiens sapiens, the wise wise men(us). they had more advanced tools than other early humans, which would have helped them hunt better. they also had a knowledge of fire, which kept them warm, discouraged wild animals and provided light at night. there have been skeletons found of homo sapiens with healed bone fractures, which shows that they lived in a community, which in turn, would give them a higher chance of survival and helped fending of animal attacks.
