Heidelbergus, early proto-Neanderthals, or the like. <br /><br />The absence of the Archeulean past the Movius line noted by Hallan Movius in 1948 and shown in the article illustration has held up over the subsequent 66 years of archaeology, and suggests technological stasis in Asia (until about 65-100 kya) despite progress in the rest of the Old World possibly involving an evolutionary advance in archaic hominins, although there are other explanations.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-14474437637922738312014-09-29T00:32:18.133+03:002014-09-29T00:32:18.133+03:00The absence in coastal West Africa is interesting....The absence in coastal West Africa is interesting. Leads to the conclusion that the heavily forested regions may have been uninhabited at all. The Pygmy presence in the jungle region certainly seems to me to post-date any OoA for 'modern' humans. The main conclusion of the paper though is that the technology involved did not actually 'start' in any single region. Another interesting feature is the isolated scattering in East Eurasia. Does that presence indicate later small populations adopting the technology independently or independent development? terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.com
