![]() Teeth found in Sumatra in the 19th century Available fossil evidence from Sri Lanka has been dated to 34 kya. Genetic evidence suggests first settlement 70–66 kya. Teeth were found under rock over which 80,000 years old stalagmites had grown.įragments of 2 mandibles discovered in 1953 Rose, human settlements spread east from Africa across the Arabian Peninsula.Īrchaeological excavation carried out in the trenches at Dhaba in the upper Son river valley found stone tools and other evidences of human occupation in this area 80,000 years back. Tools found in the Dhofar Governorate correspond with African objects from the so-called 'Nubian Complex', dating from 75 to 125,000 years ago. Stone tools made by anatomically modern humans (discovered 2011). Īnatomically modern human discovered 1924 with rare temporal bone pathology There is some debate as to whether these remains represent anatomically modern humans.Įvidence from population genetics suggests separation before 110 ka, most likely between 130 and 200 ka. Remains found in the Klasies River Caves in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa show signs of human hunting dated c. Layers dating from between 250,000 and 140,000 years ago in the same cave contained tools of the Levallois type which could put the date of the first migration even earlier if the tools can be associated with the modern human jawbone finds. The Omo remains of modern humans found in 1967 near the Ethiopian Kibish Mountains, dated stratigraphically to 195 ± 5 ka, may be related to Ledi-Geraru.įossil maxilla is apparently older than remains found at Skhyul and Qafzeh. Quartzite tools excavated at Attirampakkam were dated back to 250,000-385,000 years old. Genetic evidence for early Homo sapiens admixture to Neanderthals in West Asia, discovered in 2017. RegionĪnatomically modern human remains of eight individuals dated 300,000 years old, making them the oldest known remains categorized as "modern" (as of 2018 ). The oldest known evidence for anatomically modern humans (as of 2017 ) are fossils found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, dated about 360,000 years old. See also: Early expansions of hominins out of Africaīefore Homo sapiens, Homo erectus had already spread throughout Africa and non-Arctic Eurasia by about one million years ago. Early Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa from as early as 270,000 years ago, although these early migrations may have died out and permanent Homo sapiens presence outside of Africa may not have been established until about 70-50,000 years ago. Human "settlement" does not necessarily have to be continuous settled areas in some cases become depopulated due to environmental conditions, such as glacial periods or the Toba volcanic eruption. List entries are identified by region (in the case of genetic evidence spatial resolution is limited) or region, country or island, with the date of the first known or hypothesised modern human presence (or "settlement", although Paleolithic humans were not sedentary). Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,500 years ago), Holocene (12,500 to 500 years ago) and Modern ( Age of Sail and modern exploration). The list is divided into four categories, Middle Paleolithic (before 50,000 years ago), This is a list of dates associated with the prehistoric peopling of the world (first known presence of Homo sapiens). ![]() Overview map of the peopling of the world by anatomically modern humans (numbers indicate dates in thousands of years ago )
