ANT 301 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Homo Sapiens Idaltu, Human Taxonomy, Anatomically Modern Human
Document Summary
Chapter 11: the origin and dispersal of modern humans. The first modern humans, who evolved by 195,000 ya are probably descendants of some of the pre-modern humans in chapter 10; african populations of h. heidelbergensis are the most likely ancestors of the earliest modern h. sapiens. The complete replacement model: developed by christopher stringer and peter andrews, based on the origin of modern humans in africa and later replacement of populations in. Mitochondrial inheritance follows a strictly maternal pattern (inherited through females), while the y chromosome is transmitted only from father to son. Omo kibish: found in southernmost ethiopia; earliest of these specimens (195. 000 ya) Klasies river mouth: found on the south coast of africa and border cave; 120. 000- Early modern humans appeared in east africa by shortly after 200. 000 ya and had migrated to southern africa by approximately 100. 000 ya. Key early modern homo sapiens discoveries from africa and the near east.
