[note 1] The recent African origin theory suggests that the anatomically modern humans outside of Africa descend from a population of Homo sapiens migrating from East Africa roughly 70–50,000 years ago and spreading along the southern coast of Asia and to Oceania by about 50,000 years ago. Modern humans spread across Europe about 40,000 years ...
Homo sapiens emerges in Africa before about 0.3 Ma from a lineage closely related to early H. heidelbergensis. [29] 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]
Homo sapiens (red) Expansion of early modern humans from Africa through the Near East. 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).
Early humans navigated along river channels while on their way to Eurasia, it’s been claimed Scientific breakthrough confirms how early man left Africa 84,000 years ago Skip to main content
Homo sapiens had left Africa about 70-50,000 years ago, [3] [4] [5] and between 30,000-15,000 years ago migrated back from the Middle East into Northern Africa. About 3,000 years ago, [ 6 ] [ 7 ] or already earlier between 6,000-5,000 years ago, [ 8 ] farmers from Anatolia and the Near East migrated into the Horn of Africa .
The fossil record shows Homo sapiens (also known as "modern humans" or "anatomically modern humans") living in Africa by about 350,000–260,000 years ago. The earliest known Homo sapiens fossils include the Jebel Irhoud remains from Morocco ( c. 315,000 years ago ), [ 29 ] the Florisbad Skull from South Africa ( c. 259,000 years ago ), and the ...
Studies show that the pre-modern migration of human populations begins with the movement of Homo erectus out of Africa across Eurasia about 1.75 million years ago. Homo sapiens appeared to have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago; some members of this species moved out of Africa 70,000 years ago (or, according to more recent studies, as early as 125,000 years ago into Asia, [1] [2 ...
According to the theory of recent African origin of modern humans, the mainstream position held within the scientific community, all humans originate from either Southeast Africa or the Horn of Africa. [80] During the first millennium CE, Nilotic and Bantu-speaking peoples moved into the region. [citation needed]
