Recent African origin of modern humans

Recent African origin of modern humans

  • Anatomically modern human
    The term anatomically modern humans (AMH) or anatomically modern Homo sapiens (AMHS) refers in paleoanthropology to individual members of the species Homo sapiens with an appearance consistent with the range of phenotypes in modern humans.
  • Bryan Sykes
    Bryan Clifford Sykes (born 9 September 1947) is a Fellow of Wolfson College, and former Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Oxford.
  • Spencer Wells
    (Not to be confused with Thomas Spencer Wells (1818 – 1897), English surgeon.) Spencer Wells (born April 6, 1969) is a geneticist, anthropologist, author, entrepreneur, adjunct professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and owner of Antone's, an iconic nightclub in Austin, Texas.
  • Douglas C. Wallace
    Douglas Cecil Wallace (born November 6, 1946) is a geneticist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.
  • Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza
    Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza (born 25 January 1922) is an Italian population geneticist born in Genoa, who has been a professor at Stanford University since 1970 (now emeritus).
  • Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas
    The genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas primarily focuses on Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroups.
  • Recent African origin of modern humans
    In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans, also called the "Out of Africa" theory (OOA), the "recent single-origin hypothesis" (RSOH), "replacement hypothesis," or "recent African origin model" (RAO), is the most widely accepted model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans.
  • Settlement of the Americas
    Available scientific evidence indicates that humanity emerged from Africa over 100,000 years ago, yet did not arrive in the Americas until less than 20,000 years ago.
  • Richard Klein (paleoanthropologist)
    Richard G. Klein (born April 11, 1941) is a Professor of Biology and Anthropology at Stanford University.
  • Manot 1
    Manot 1 is a fossil specimen designated to a skullcap that represents an archaic modern human discovered in Israel.
  • Toomas Kivisild
    Toomas Kivisild, (born on 11 August 1969 in Tapa, Estonia) is an Estonian geneticist.
  • The Real Eve
    The Real Eve: Modern Man's Journey Out of Africa is a popular science book about the evolution of modern humans written by British geneticist Stephen Oppenheimer.
  • Early human migrations
    Earliest human migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents began 2 million years ago with the migration out of Africa of Homo erectus.
  • Macro-haplogroup L (mtDNA)
    In human mitochondrial genetics, L is the mitochondrial DNA macro-haplogroup that is at the root of the human mtDNA phylogenetic tree.
  • Milford H. Wolpoff
    Milford Howell Wolpoff is a paleoanthropologist working as a professor of anthropology and adjunct associate research scientist, Museum of Anthropology, at the University of Michigan.
