What Did Early Homo Sapiens Do For 450,000 Years?

What were Homo Sapiens doing for 450,000 years pre-modernity?

For roughly 450,000 years between splitting from ~~[Homo Erectus](homo-sapiens-diverged-from-homo-erectus-half-a-million-years-ago.md)~~❌ and ~~[becoming observably modern](humans-of-50000-years-ago-were-modern.md)~~❌, Sapiens were ostensibly developing towards that ‘modernity’.

What were they doing??

Homo Sapiens Diverged from Homo Erectus Half a Million Years Ago

These ancient Homo Sapiens were still wildly cruder than us, especially in technology (although they did use fire). They would become behaviorally modern about 450,000 years later (Humans of 50,000 Years Ago Were 'Modern'). What were they up to in between? (What Did Early Homo Sapiens Do For 450,000 Years?)
