Between 2 and less than a million years ago, Homo spread throughout East Africa and to Southern Africa (Homo ergaster), but not yet to West Africa. Around 1.8 million years ago, Homo erectus migrated out of Africa via the Levantine corridor and Horn of Africa to Eurasia.
Jun 7, 2024 · A new study published in Nature uses genomic evidence to show that humans first landed on the Persian Plateau between 60,000 years and 70,000 years ago but didn’t spread into the rest of Europe and Asia until around 45,000 years ago.
Feb 9, 2024 · Herto man is proof that modern humans (Homo sapiens) lived in Africa at least 160,000 years ago. And they seem to have stayed there for a long time. Though it is unclear when some modern humans first left Africa, evidence shows that these modern humans did not leave Africa until between 60,000 and 90,000 years ago. Most likely, a change in ...
Oct 19, 2023 · Groups of modern humans— Homo sapiens —began their migration out of Africa some 60,000 years ago. Some of our early ancestors kept exploring until they spread to all corners of Earth. How far and fast they went depended on climate, the pressures of population, and the invention of boats and other technologies.
Mar 25, 2024 · There were earlier small-scale excursions of Homo sapiens out of Africa before the pivotal migration 60,000 to 70,000 years ago, but these appear to have been dead-ends.
May 3, 2023 · Now, evidence suggests that modern humans trekked into Europe in three waves between 54,000 and 42,000 years ago, a new study finds. Our species, Homo sapiens, arose in Africa more than...
It was previously thought that Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa and into the Middle East, Europe and Asia c. 70,000 – 60,000 BCE. However, new evidence suggests that there were actually several distinct waves of migrations beginning around 100,000 BCE, with each subsequent one occurring about 20,000 years apart.
