There it remains unspecified about, among those two legged beings, before snow ball earth of ice age era, whether there were human beings and their traces not yet discovered due to having no knowledge of whereabouts if there were any human living beings on the earth?
Hello Fatima; A brief Google search suggests that the genus Homo originated sometime between 3 million and 2 million years ago. Of course, this depends on how the genus is defined and there seems to be some disagreement about that. Do you include in your "human beings" term only H. sapiens? Or, are the other species in the genus also human? Your question will turn out to have a complicated answer. Best regards, Jim Des Lauriers
There certainly were other Homo species alongside Homo sapiens for millions of years and until recent geological history (thousands rather than millions of years ago. See books by Chris Stringer for example about Homo erectus diversifying into other human species, including sapiens, Denisovaians, Neanderthals, etc.
