Human origins: Out of Africa

Modern humans appear to have definitively exited Africa to populate the rest of the globe only after both their physical and cognitive peculiarities had been acquired within that continent.

Africa continued to be an evolutionary crucible in which new species were periodically created, until it finally produced a super-intelligent species capable of the cultural adaptation necessary to colonise and dominate the whole of the planet: Homo sapiens, modern humans.

Africa the Birthplace of Human Language, Study Says | popular archaeology

The study results parallel and complement recent genetic and phenotype studies that support an African origin for Homo sapiens, or modern humans, strengthening the notion that the development of language was a key innovation that enabled modern humans to spread across the globe.

Human Ancestor in Indonesia Died Out Earlier Than Once Thought | popular archaeology

The "Out of Africa" model, perhaps the most widely held theory among evolutionists today, suggests that geographic and time-period overlapping between disparate early human species, and more particularly that of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, would be predictable.

It posits that archaic Homo sapiens (an earlier version of modern humans) evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago, and that members of anatomically modern humans left Africa by between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, replacing earlier human populations such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus over time.

Evolution of Modern Humans:  Early Modern Homo sapiens

The replacement model of Christopher Stringer and Peter Andrews proposes that modern humans evolved from archaic humans 200,000-150,000 years ago only in Africa and then some of them migrated into the rest of the Old World replacing all of the Neandertals and other late archaic humans beginning around 60,000-40,000 years ago.

Human Evolution Alive with Controversy

While multi-regionalists still argue the point ferociously, the tentative consensus among evolutionary biologists is that our species evolved in Africa recently, and spread from there to the rest of the world, eventually replacing earlier human species in Europe and Asia.

It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Out-of-Africa theory was right all along.

Human Evolution Alive with Controversy

Outside of Africa and the Middle East, there are no clearly-dated fossils of Homo sapiens older than 30,000 years, suggesting the last human migration out of Africa was very recent.

Human Evolution Alive with Controversy

While the details of this story are still quite controversial among paleontologists, the emerging consensus is that there have been at least five species of humans, all of them evolving in Africa and four of them migrating out in successive waves to Europe and Africa.

The greatest divergence in DNA of non-African populations occured 90,000 to 180,000 years ago suggesting that Homo erectus (Java Man, Peking Man) did not contribute to our gene pool (as proposed by the multi-regional hypothesis to human origins).
