Document Summary
Lecture march, 1, 2015: out of africa or spread and replacement view of modern human origins. Homo erectus emerged in africa, and spread to southwest asia, east and southeast asia, and. Local variations emerged and new adaptations led to evolution and local populations. These local forms included h neanderthalensis in europe. If multiregional model is to be upheld, then the following predictions or expectations should be met: Early amhs should be found everywhere at the same time. Regional anatomical continuity between pre-modern and amhs (no overlap in forms). Dna of pre-moderns should be more similar to dna of early amhs than to present day humans. If out of africa ii model is to be upheld, then the following predictions or expectations should be met: Oldest amhs fossils should be found in africa. Outside of africa, we should find emigrant amhs contemporizes alongside regional pre- moderns. 1st amhs in asia and europe should look like early amhs in africa.
