late Middle Pleistocene. At some point later, modern humans dispersed into Asia and …

Abstract The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human
evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of …

dated and well-preserved fossils older than∼ 45,000 years that can be unequivocally …

The timing of the first arrival of Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and the degree to
which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous …

Understanding the timing and character of the expansion of Homo sapiens out of Africa is
critical for inferring the colonization and admixture processes that underpin global …

together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Two early Late Pleistocene (~ 105,000-to 125,000-year-old) crania from Ling**g, Xuchang,
China, exhibit a morphological mosaic with differences from and similarities to their western …

50,000 years ago–merely a blip in evolutionary time–our Homo sapiens ancestors were
competing for existence with several other human species, just as their own precursors had …

The first publication to outline the complex global story of human migration and dispersal
throughout the whole of human prehistory. Utilizing archaeological, linguistic and biological …

The expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) from Africa around 65,000 to 45,000
y ago (ca. 65 to 45 ka) led to the establishment of present-day non-African populations …
