"I see what you did there!"

The time scales of these migrations are staggering. Our most familiar time scale is from the time of Christ, Mesopotamia, the Roman Empire, Egypt — 2,000 to 5,000 years ago.
I wonder how these migrations occurred. Did a tribal leader convene a council and said “It’s time we moved on”? Did they just move a few miles away? A few tens of miles? Did they know they were constantly moving in a particular direction? Was it just animated by the need for a new food supply? Were they nomadic like the North American Indians?
"I see what you did there!"
LOL...one of the DNA tests I’ve taken says I’ve got more Neanderthal genes than 75% of their clients. My family is from Northern Europe and the British Isles (which largely came from Northern Europe).
All human beings descended from Adam and Eve. Not so sure about libtards…
Neanderthals emigrated to America and evolved into Democrats.
I would imagine they were a lot like Baptists.
Every time a Baptist Church gets a new preacher half the congregation doesn’t like him, and so leave and start a new church..............
If you want to know the path humans took, just follow the food.
Still works today. Just think about the last potluck you were at.
LOL...good analogy. It always comes down to 1) can’t find enough to eat, 2) can’t stand the neighbors, or 3) hate the leader and split.
That would put modern humans reaching Australia 15,000 years before they reached Europe - an absurd result.
Small differences in genotype can spell big differences phenotype.
They followed the animals they preyed upon, and responded to pressure from other tribes, not to mention increasing population pressures.
It is not hard to see an average movement of a couple of miles a year.
Periodic Ice Ages forced migration and advanced intelligence - only the smart survive in the cold.
Thanks Red Badger and FrogMom.
Simple. The chiefs eldest son or the strongest warrior became the next chief. Either kowtow or collect your familiar group and move out of range.
“Neanderthals came from Homo Erectus”
I miss Kinky Friedman...
Fascinating stuff. I can’t get too much of it.
I do not appreciate your treatment of my Neanderthal ancestry. There are almost no troglodytes in my family tree.

"Image: JOHN GURCHE PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER With a brain half the size of a modern one and a brow reminiscent of Homo habilis, this hominid is one of the most primitive members of our genus on record. Paleoartist John Gurche reconstructed this 1.75-million-year-old explorer from a nearly complete teenage H. erectus skull and associated mandible found in Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. The background figures derive from two partial crania recovered at the site. "
