It's currently impossible to say exactly how old modern man really is, but there's evidence for dates as far back as 400, 000 years. Most scientists agree on a much earlier date of 200, 000 years but recent discoveries in a cave in Israel point to much older. www.abc.net.au/am/content/2010/s3103039.htm This is the address to an article about the ancient remains and tools found in the cave.

Where did spnaking originate from and when?

"Speaking" as humans do is just a highly sophisticated development of vocal communication as used by many animal species. There is no evidence when 'language' in the modern sense started to develop in humans. An educated guess by scholars puts it at "at least" 100,000 years ago, which is probably a safe guess. Some scholars even put the possible start of modern speech at about 200,000 years ago.

Neanderthals were present when modern humans arose. Neanderthals lived in Eurasia for about 400,000 years and had many similarities to modern humans, but they went extinct around 40,000 years ago. Recent studies suggest that modern humans and Neanderthals interbred, with some people today having Neanderthal DNA in their genomes.
