is the most widely accepted model describing the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans.[1] The theory is called the (Recent) Out-of-Africa model in the popular press, and academically the recent single-origin hypothesis (RSOH), Replacement Hypothesis...
Migrations cause changes in the spatial distribution of genetic signatures, and mapping these signatures of gene flow over time can shed light on past movements. The evolutionary history of anatomically modern humans (AMH) has witnessed several key dispersals, from the migration out of Africa to ...
We find a genetic signature in present-day Papuans that suggests that at least 2% of their genome originates from an early and largely extinct expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) out of Africa. Together with evidence from the western Asian fossil record11, and admixture between AMHs ...
Anatomically modern humans emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa, evolving from Homo heidelbergensis and migrating out of Africa, gradually replacing local populations of archaic humans. For most of history, all humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution, which began in ...
Reich and Keinan, on the other hand, focused their analysis on the period when anatomically modern humansleft Africa. “We’ll have to figure out this issue in future work,” Reich says.
Windows out of Africa: A 300,000-year chronology of climatically plausible human contact with Eurasia Whilst an African origin for Anatomically Modern Humans is well established, the timings of their expansions into Eurasia are the subject to heated debate, due to the scarcity of fossils and the...

The Late Pleistocene thus contained the penultimate interglacial and final glacial periods, a time of massive change in global environments in which anatomically and behaviorally modern Homo sapiens left Africa, was propelled into prominence, and other more archaic hominin species finally succumbed to ...
Anatomically modern, that is. The fossilized finger dated to at least 85,000 years ago. “It’s strange, isn’t it? Almost all bones will not be preserved, and there’s nothing special about the finger bone in terms of how hard it is. It just got ...
