Early human migrations are the earliest migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents. They are believed to have begun approximately 2 million years ago with the early expansions out of Africa by Homo erectus.

2017年5月15日 · The story of early human migration covers such an immense time span and area that there cannot be but one explanation for all of these groups of adventurous hunter-gatherers going wandering around.

When the migration was complete, Homo sapiens was the last—and only—man standing. Even today researchers argue about what separates modern humans from other, extinct hominids.

Around 100,000 years ago, a pivotal moment in human history unfolded as groups of Homo sapiens ventured beyond the African continent, initiating a protracted global migration that spanned tens of thousands of years.

2024年12月5日 · Early human migration across land and sea played a crucial role in the spread of Homo sapiens throughout Asia, Europe, and Australia. Evidence suggests that humans first left Africa around 200,000 years ago, gradually settling in diverse environments.

Early humans migrated due to many factors, such as changing climate and landscape and inadequate food-supply for the levels of population. The evidence indicates that the ancestors of the Austronesian peoples spread from the South Chinese mainland to the island of Taiwan around 8,000 years ago.

2023年6月13日 · DNA leaves little doubt: All non-Africans alive today descend from a single wave of migration out of Africa, perhaps sometime between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago. But over the years, scientists have found a handful of modern human sites that suggest our species may have wandered from its birthplace even earlier.

2008年7月1日 · In the past 20 years population geneticists have begun to fill in gaps in the paleoanthropological record by fashioning a genetic bread-crumb trail of the earliest migrations by modern humans....

2019年6月5日 · An international team studied the remains of 48 ancient humans from the region, as well as 93 living Alaskan Iñupiat and West Siberian peoples.

2012年9月26日 · Dating and mapping fossil finds is one way anthropologists track early human migrations. The bones from Qafzeh, Israel, (a drawing of one of the skulls, above) indicate Homo sapiens first left...
