How far back can you go and find anatomically modern humans? How “modern” would they be?

I know I can just google the answer to this, but what I’m wondering is what exactly is the definition of an anatomically modern human? A human who can reproduce with a modern human? I’m wondering, if you go back 150,000 years and get a human from that time and raise them in modern society, would they be in any way different? Would anything give them away?

They would probably have a little more body hair, perhaps some more defined and prominent bone structure (which would look a little out of place to us). Human evolution itself took course over a few million years as well, 150 thousand years is not alot of time on the evolutionary timeline.
