Document Summary
Lecture 18: homo sapiens and the peopling of the world. Homo sapiens discovered in sw france at the cro magnon rock shelter. Five anatomically modern people, dated to 30 kya. Europe, and asia: constant gene flow between populations essentially made all archaic homo a single population (with the exception of neanderthals) First homo out of africa was h. ergaster (became erectus) about 1. 8 mya. Neanderthals are not ancestral to anatomically modern homo sapiens. Most scientists now agree that the out of africa hypothesis is the best interpretation of the fossil (and genetic) evidence. Homo ergaster left africa (1migration 1. 2 1. 8 mya) In asia evolved into h. erectus (and possibly h. floresiensis) In africa, europe, and middle east evolved into h. heidelbergensis. H. heidelbergensis populations separated by climate change. In europe and middle east evolved into h. neanderthalensis in africa evolved into h. sapiens. H. sapiens left africa (2migration ~60 kya), replacing all other hominins in europe,
