Early human migrations are the earliest migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents beginning 2 million years ago with the out of Africa migration of Homo erectus. This initial migration was followed by other archaic humans including H. heidelbergensis, which lived around 500, 000 years ago and was the likely ancestor of both Denisovans and Neanderthals. Within Africa, Homo sapiens dispersed around the time of its speciation, roughly 300, 000 years ago. The "recent African origin" paradigm suggests that the anatomically modern humans outside of Africa descend from a population of Homo sapiens migrating from East Africa roughly 70, 000 years ago and spreading along the southern coast of Asia and to Oceania before 50, 000 years ago. Modern humans spread across Europe about 40, 000 years ago. The migrating modern human populations are known to have interbred with local varieties of archaic humans, so that contemporary human populations are descended in small part (below 10% contribution) from regional varieties of archaic humans. This book is a compilation of high quality articles from the Internet. | History of Early Human Migrations by Silvia Herbert, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
