The Levantine corridor, being the only land route connecting Africa to Eurasia, has been viewed as a possible dispersal route. We report here on lithic assemblages from the Negev highlands of Israel that contain both Levallois centripetal and Nubian-type cores.<a href="http://federalresumewritingservice.net/" rel="nofollow">click here</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040149432315527017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-12153595006441598962016-04-15T01:23:45.444+03:002016-04-15T01:23:45.444+03:00"a co-evolution in the SE Europe / SW Asia / ..."a co-evolution in the SE Europe / SW Asia / NE Africa triangle over a ~600,000 year time frame" <br /><br />I have long assumed that to be the case although now we have evidence of Neanderthal Y-chromosome incompatibility and so the matter becomes complicated. The search for the first 'modern' humans is a ridiculous idea. A group of pre-modern humans did not wake up one morning and find they were 'modern'. <br /><br />Someone (whose name I forget, apologies) posted a link to this paper: <br /><br />https://www.cshl.edu/news-and-features/neanderthals-mated-with-modern-humans-much-earlier-than-previously-thought-study-finds.html<br /><br />Basically it offers support to your option b. In fact I think it shows the surviving 'Neanderthal' genes in modern humans derive not from a direct hybrid event between moderns and Neanderthals but a hybrid event between modern humans and modern/Neanderthal hybrids. terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-15182042228913096542016-04-11T12:27:37.536+03:002016-04-11T12:27:37.536+03:00Surely very important and adding to evidence for a...Surely very important and adding to evidence for an early origin of AMHs emanating from this general region.<br /><br />So far, we only have two known / viable options to explain the mixture of lithic assemblages in the Levant (and surrounding regions) during MIS 5: (a) the other early/ ancient humans there were <i>heidelbergensis</i> (Neanderthals did not get there until ~50,000 years later), or (b) the "other" population was a remnant of what let to modern humans in the first place, i.e., a co-evolution in the SE Europe / SW Asia / NE Africa triangle over a ~600,000 year time frame, also enabling sporadic exchange with European Neanderthals (modern mtDNA vs. <i>heidelbergensis</i> ("Denisovans"), and now also a fairly recent date for y-DNA compared to European <i>erectus</i>).eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.com
