Hominid dispersals in Europe refers to the colonisation of the European continent by various species of hominid, including hominins and archaic and modern humans. Short and repetitive migrations of archaic humans before 1 million years ago suggest that their residence in Europe was not permanent at the time. [ 1 ]
Populations of Homo sapiens migrated to the Levant and to Europe [dubious – discuss] between 130,000 and 115,000 years ago, and possibly in earlier waves as early as 185,000 years ago. [note 8] A fragment of a jawbone with eight teeth found at Misliya Cave has been dated to around 185,000 years ago.
H. erectus would then have dispersed from West Asia, to East Asia Southeast Asia , back to Africa (Homo ergaster), and to Europe (Tautavel Man). [ 20 ] [ 21 ] It appears H. erectus took longer to move into Europe, the earliest site being Barranco León in southeastern Spain dated to 1.4 Ma, associated with Homo antecessor , [ 22 ] and a ...
According to the authors, Africans gained their Neanderthal admixture predominantly from a back-migration by peoples (modern humans carrying Neanderthal admixture) that had diverged from ancestral Europeans (postdating the split between East Asians and Europeans). [16] This back-migration is proposed to have happened about 20,000 years ago. [3]
Modern humans ventured into northern Europe under extremely cold climate conditions and were living side by side with Neanderthals more than 45,000 years ago, according to new evidence.
The earliest indication of Upper Palaeolithic modern human migration into Europe is a series of modern human teeth with Neronian industry stone tools found at Mandrin Cave, Malataverne in France, dated in 2022 to between 56,800 and 51,700 years ago.
A new discovery of fossils dating back 1.5 million years is giving scientists fresh insight into the behaviors of human ancestors known as hominins.. An international team of researchers said ...
Stone tools found at the Shangchen site in China and dated to 2.12 million years ago are considered the earliest known evidence of hominins outside Africa, surpassing Dmanisi hominins found in Georgia by 300,000 years, although whether these hominins were an early species in the genus Homo or another hominin species is unknown.
