So, it appears this deals with ancestors, and is not really relevant to the out of Africa theory as to Homo Sapiens.
It is my understanding that teeth change shape due to factors such as age, diet, pathological conditions including diseases and invading bacteria. Could someone clarify this please? For example, say there was a drought that killed a lot of vegetation, diet changes to meat.
By the condition of the teeth pictured, I almost assumed we came from Britain...(j/k my fellow Brit FReepers) :)
Somewhere along the line, Kate got sidetracked with thoughts of migration routes. The article is based on differences in teeth but she failed to mention what the differences were.
If there are differences in teeth between Africans and Eur/Asians, what are those differences?
Well put. The multiregionalist view is that humans came from Africa, very long ago, then diversified; the Replacement hypothesis is that something called anatomically modern humans originated only in Africa, sat there for a long while, then about 50,000 years ago exploded across the globe, not stopping until reaching Tierra del Fuego perhaps 10,000 years ago. “Out of Africa” is now a vague term which is often used as a prop for Replacement.
Humans are omniverous, and that is the case with the fossil forms purported as human ancestors.
that’s a lot, lot, lot
later.
Now that is amazing. I want to look into this much more because now I am curious.
Yup. Linked below: (This article from the NG is linked in post #19 in the below article)
Study points to larger role of Asian ancestors in evolution (challenging "Out of Africa" theory)
Ah!
North of iran between the black and caspian seas.
They'll eventually figure out that Adam & Eve that we all descended from went back to Africa from Asia....and, then left again later, IMO.
Today, everyone outside of Africa are more related to themselves that they are to anyone in Africa.
I can definitely see the links in many cultures. Asian (Mongolian, Chinese etc), Eskimos, Native American, and African American.
I have a good friend who traveled to China for missionary work. She is Black and some mistook her for Asian. Yellow skin, almond eyes.
Yeah, I know.
So that’s in Asia, correct? So where’s the news?
No, actually I think the caucasus mountains are considered the southern boundary line between europe and asia. South of the mountains is asia. North of the mountains is europe. The eastern boundary is the ural mountains and the ural river.
When I was in gradeschool, I had a teacher that claimed the atlas mountains in africa were the southern boundary of western europe...in otherwords, the northern coastlines of morocco and algeria were a sliver of europe. Since that was what I was first taught, that’w what I grew up believing. As an adult, I’ve yet to meet anyone that has ever been taught this as I was.
