Jared Diamond discusses how the ancestors of humans began to develop many years ago. Human ancestors began walking straight up around 4 million years ago. Archaeologists called this period of new technology and inventions the Great Leap Forward. After the Great Leap Forward, the human race started to expand its territory. Many humans stayed in Africa and Eurasia for many years.…

Human migration began in eastern Africa, where remains of the earliest types of human remains were found to originate. Gradual migration was caused by the need to find scarce food and slowly caused the spread of the human population across to the Americas and Australia.…

The theory of evolution holds, not necessarily that man somehow descended from any kind of ape or monkey, but rather that probably he and they have arrived from a common ancestry.…
In earlier history evidence shows humans originated from Africa and started spreading out 100,000 years ago. Similarly, the Europeans left to explore, also they came from Africa like the African slaves but they…
Human evolution has proceeded against a backdrop of great Ice Ages. The latest one occurring only 20,000 BCE years ago…
There are two theories about the origin of modern humans; the out of Africa view argues that genes in the fully modern human all came out of Africa and there was no interbreeding involved and the alternative model; a multi-regional view that argues how all human population flowed between different regions and mixed together which contributed to the development of the modern human. What makes these theories the most highly debateable in paleoanthropology is that 30,000 years ago, the taxonomic diversity previously seen amongst homo sapiens, homo erectus and homo Neanderthals had vanished and humans everywhere had evolved into the anatomically and behaviourally modern form; there is much deliberation as to how this occurred which rose this differing schools of thought; one that emphasises multiregional continuity and the other that suggests a single origin for modern humans. In order to understand this controversy, the archaeological, anatomical and genetic evidence needs to be evaluated.…
With regards to the multi-regional continuity model of human evolution, there is without a doubt a preponderance of fossil data that supports the diverse origins of Homo sapiens in different regions of the globe. Skulls displaying a wide variety of mixed modern and archaic features have been found in every corner of the world. The mere existence of these fossils is evidence enough to prove that human evolution was far less cut-and-dried a process than the advocates of the replacement model of human evolution would like to suggest, and, in fact, rather astonishingly complex.…
As defined by Fish, Humans are a species, which means that people from anywhere in the world can reproduce and create a fertile offspring. Human population over time were geographically separated from one another came to differ in physical appearance. They came through three major pathways: mutation, natural selection and genetic drift. Further, different geographical environments select for different physical traits that confer a survival advantage.…
migration originated from and there have been debates about it. Some state that the migration was from south east Asia, sailing from the west to the east, but many along with Thor Heyerdahl states that the migration was from east to…
The majority of anthropologists strongly believed that the origin of human beings is from Africa for a number of reasons. They opposed to the existence of…
Human Evolution is just a theory. Hominids began to come to life about four to five million years ago and only one will adapt to become us. Many species had to adapt to their environment or die off. The result of changes in the environment made us today.…
The settlement of humans in the Near East began with the movement of Homo erectus off the African continent roughly 2 million years ago during the Paleolithic period. Over the course of several thousand years, Homo erectus spread rapidly throughout the Near East and then into Europe and Southeast Asia.…
