Document Summary
For a long time we couldn"t find fossils that were 200,000 ya, but we have fossils from east and south. Africa that date to about 200,000 years ago. Omo 1 matches the age of genetics we have found. Specimens that are the oldest found of homo sapiens. Earliest evidence for homo sapiens out of africa is in southwest asia about 100,000 ya. Evidence suggests they do not move out of that area and colonize the rest of the world until 50,000 years ago and do not get to australia and the new world until much later. There are two theories, out of africa ii and multiregional hypothesis. We do not see the arctic or australia or the new world being occupied at this time. They either really liked it along the coast lines or maybe the arctic was too cold to move into that area, this was the. There is difference from behaviorally modern homo sapiens.
