Document Summary
Early modern humans:: 190,000 yrs ago, africa (msa), middle east (middle paleolithic) mousterian ! Modern humans: africa (msa > later stone age) 50,000 yrs, middle east (middle paleolithic > ?) Skull found in manot 55,000 yrs ago: tooth found in europe (ulluzian) in grotta del cavallo 45,000 yrs ago! 1) aurignacian 2) gravettian 3) solutrean 4) magdalenian! Aurignacian industry > blades and bone points: transition phases: 1) proto aurignacian 2) ulluzian, aurignacian! Extinct in middle east by 40,000 yrs. ago! Extinct in europe by 27,000 yrs. ago! 3 hypotheses: : out of africa (replacement): replaced by modern humans (too much competition), hybridization: modern humans and neanderthals lived and bred together, multiregional: neanderthals evolved locally, not a separate species! Later neanderthals do not show modern human traits, so hypothesis 1 is most likely. Genetic evidence: mitochondrial dna shows that origins of all living humans is africa, modern humans y chromosome dna shows that africa origins dispersal dates within last.
