Overview map of the peopling of the world by early humans during the Upper Paleolithic, following the Southern Dispersal paradigm. The so-called "recent dispersal" of modern humans took place about 70–50,000 years ago. [62] [63] [64] It is this migration wave that led to the lasting spread of modern humans throughout the world.
The numerous hominin sites in the Levant, such as Ubeidiya and Misliya cave, are used as indicators of this migration route. [ citation needed ] As of 2012, the genetic analysis of human populations in Africa and Eurasia supports the concept that during the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods, this route was more important for bi-directional ...

The earliest indication of Upper Palaeolithic modern human migration into Europe is a series of modern human teeth with Neronian industry stone tools found at Mandrin Cave, Malataverne in France, dated in 2022 to between 56,800 and 51,700 years ago.
Layers dating from between 250,000 and 140,000 years ago in the same cave contained tools of the Levallois type which could put the date of the first migration even earlier if the tools can be associated with the modern human jawbone finds.

Southern Dispersal migration out of Africa, Proto-Australoid peopling of Oceania. [62] Archaic admixture from Neanderthals in Eurasia, [ 63 ] [ 64 ] from Denisovans in Oceania with trace amounts in Eastern Eurasia, [ 65 ] and from an unspecified African lineage of archaic humans in Sub-Saharan Africa as well as an interbred species of ...
The Hominidae (/ h ɒ ˈ m ɪ n ɪ d iː /), whose members are known as the great apes [note 1] or hominids (/ ˈ h ɒ m ɪ n ɪ d z /), are a taxonomic family of primates that includes eight extant species in four genera: Pongo (the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan); Gorilla (the eastern and western gorilla); Pan (the chimpanzee and the bonobo); and Homo, of which only modern humans ...
World map of human migrations, with the North Pole at center. Made in 2005. Africa, harboring the start of the migration, is at the top left and South America at the far right. Migration patterns are based on studies of mitochondrial (matrilinear) DNA. Dashed lines are hypothetical migrations. Numbers represent thousand years before present.
