Document Summary
Anthrop 1aa3 - lecture #21 - origin and evolution of genus homo (continued) Replacement model: put forward by chris stringer, modern humans evolve and disperse throughout africa ~200,000 years ago. 195,000 years ago, and herto dating to 165,000 years ago: by 115,000 years ago we find anatomically modern humans in parts of israel, the. Middle east, and not in europe until about 60,000 years ago: problematic aspect of this theory, that h. sapiens replaced the other h. erectus populations, we now know through genetic researching that this is not the case. Africa no sagittal crest, strong brow ridge, smaller face- less dog-like, larger braincase, less dentition. The head of the child was cut off, polished and decorated. To complicate matters: neandertals: homo erectus had already evolved into another species of hominin in many parts of. Relationship of neanderthals and modern humans: most humans have a little neanderthal in them.
