24 sie 2021 · The estimated timings and routes of potential contact with Eurasia are compatible with archaeological and genetic evidence of human expansions out of Africa, highlighting the key role of ...
25 mar 2024 · There were earlier small-scale excursions of Homo sapiens out of Africa before the pivotal migration 60,000 to 70,000 years ago, but these appear to have been dead-ends. Homo sapiens was...
26 sty 2018 · The timing and routes of modern human migration out of Africa are key issues for understanding the evolution of our own species. The fossil evidence suggests that the earliest members of the Homo sapiens clade (Jebel Irhoud, Omo, and Herto) appeared in Africa during the late Middle Pleistocene (1–4).
9 lut 2024 · Herto man is proof that modern humans (Homo sapiens) lived in Africa at least 160,000 years ago. And they seem to have stayed there for a long time. Though it is unclear when some modern humans first left Africa, evidence shows that these modern humans did not leave Africa until between 60,000 and 90,000 years ago. Most likely, a change in ...
