After 1.5 million years ago (extinction of Paranthropus), all fossils shown are human (genus Homo). After 11,500 years ago (11.5 ka, beginning of the Holocene ), all fossils shown are Homo sapiens ( anatomically modern humans ), illustrating recent divergence in the formation of modern human sub-populations .
Fossils attributed to H. sapiens, along with stone tools, dated to approximately 300,000 years ago, found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco [51] yield the earliest fossil evidence for anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Modern human presence in East Africa , at 276 kya. [52]
Reconstruction of early Homo sapiens from Jebel Irhoud, Morocco c. 315 000 years BP. Early modern human (EMH), or anatomically modern human (AMH), [1] are terms used to distinguish Homo sapiens (sometimes Homo sapiens sapiens) that are anatomically consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humans, from extinct archaic human species (of which some are at times also identified ...
Lucy’s discovery transformed our understanding of human origins. Don Johanson, who unearthed the Australopithecus afarensis remains in 1974, recalls the moment he found the iconic fossil.
New research shows that Homo sapiens traveled from Africa to East Asia and toward Australia up to 86,000 years ago. Archaeologists Found Ancient Human Fossils That Rewrite the History of Migration ...
Skhul 5 replica Qafzeh 9 replica. The Skhul and Qafzeh hominins or Qafzeh–Skhul early modern humans [1] are hominin fossils discovered in Es-Skhul and Qafzeh caves in Israel.They are today classified as Homo sapiens, among the earliest of their species in Eurasia.
Subsequent discoveries in Asia and Africa in recent decades, such as the fossil finds of Homo floresiensis, tiny hominins who lived 100,000 to 50,000 years ago in what’s now the Indonesian ...
Most current researchers place Rhodesian Man within the group of Homo heidelbergensis, though other designations such as archaic Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens rhodesiensis have been proposed. In February 2006 a fossil, the Gawis cranium , was found which might possibly be a species intermediate between H. erectus and H. sapiens or one of many ...
