In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans or the "Out of Africa" theory (OOA) [a] is the most widely accepted [1] [2] [3] model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens). It follows the early expansions of hominins out of Africa, accomplished by Homo erectus and then Homo ...
Homo sapiens are believed to have emerged in Africa about 300,000 years ago, based in part on thermoluminescence dating of artifacts and remains from Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, published in 2017. [note 4] [24] The Florisbad Skull from Florisbad, South Africa, dated to about 259,000 years ago, has also been classified as early Homo sapiens.
A new discovery of fossils dating back 1.5 million years is giving scientists fresh insight into the behaviors of human ancestors known as hominins.. An international team of researchers said ...
Homo rhodesiensis ("Broken Hill Cranium"): dated to 324,000 to 274,000 years ago.. The category archaic human lacks a single, agreed definition. [11] According to one definition, Homo sapiens is a single species comprising several subspecies that include the archaics and modern humans.
Rapid decay of fossils in Sub-Saharan African environments makes it currently unfeasible to compare modern human admixture with reference samples of archaic Sub-Saharan African hominins. [5] [82] Ancient DNA Data from a ~4,500 BP Ethiopian highland individual, [83] and from Southern (~2,300–1,300 BP), and Eastern and South-Central Africa ...
Ancient DNA technology has revolutionized the way we study human history and has quickly taken off, with a constant stream of studies exploring the genes of long-ago people. For most of human ...
Pre-Homo hominin expansion out of Africa is suggested by the presence of Graecopithecus and Ouranopithecus, found in Greece and Anatolia and dated to c. 8 million years ago, but these are probably Homininae but not Hominini.
Nine cut marks on a fossilized shin bone suggest that ancient human relatives butchered and possibly ate one another 1.45 million years ago, according to a new study.
