Asia, West Asia: Turkey: 316–219: Neanderthal admixture: Genetic evidence for early Homo sapiens admixture to Neanderthals in West Asia, discovered in 2017. [3] Asia, Southeast Asia: India: 385–250: South India: Quartzite tools excavated at Attirampakkam were dated back to 250,000-385,000 years old. [4] Africa, Horn of Africa: Ethiopia: 200 ...
[12] [13] By about 40,000 years ago Homo sapiens made it to Malaysia, where a skull was found on Borneo in Niah Cave. [11] Modern humans interbred with an archaic human species called Denisovans on the islands of Southeast Asia. [14] Homo sapiens females weighed an average of 54 kilograms (119 lb) and were on average 1.6 metres (5.2 ft) tall ...
From its earliest appearance at about 1.9 Ma, H. erectus is distributed in East Africa and Southwest Asia (Homo georgicus). H. erectus is the first known species to develop control of fire, by about 1.5 Ma. H. erectus later migrates throughout Eurasia, reaching Southeast Asia by 0.7 Ma. It is described in a number of subspecies. [38]
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.
Reconstruction of early Homo sapiens from Jebel Irhoud, Morocco c. 315 000 years BP. Early modern human (EMH), or anatomically modern human (AMH), [1] are terms used to distinguish Homo sapiens (sometimes Homo sapiens sapiens) that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humans, from extinct archaic human species (of which some are at times also identified ...
The first wave of "Out of Africa II and "earliest presence of H. sapiens in West Asia, may date to between .3 and 0.2 Ma, [29] and ascertained for 0.13 Ma. [30] Genetic research also indicates that a later migration wave of H. sapiens (from .07-.05 Ma) from Africa is responsible for all to most of the ancestry of current non-African populations.
Scientists say they have recovered the oldest known Homo sapiens DNA from human remains found in Europe, and the information is helping to reveal our species’ shared history with Neanderthals.
The Liujiang man (Chinese: 柳江人) is among the earliest modern humans (Homo sapiens) found in East Asia.The remains were discovered in the Tongtianyan Cave (通天岩) in Liujiang, Guangxi, China.
