We challenge the view that our species, Homo sapiens, evolved within a single population
and/or region of Africa. The chronology and physical diversity of Pleistocene human fossils …

If we restrict the use of Homo sapiens in the fossil record to specimens which share a
significant number of derived features in the skeleton with extant H. sapiens, the origin of our …

Current fossil, genetic, and archeological data indicate that Homo sapiens originated in
Africa in the late Middle Pleistocene. By the end of the Late Pleistocene, our species was …

The interpretation of genetic evidence regarding modern human origins depends, among
other things, on assessments of the structure and the variation of ancient populations …

It is generally accepted that modern humans evolved in Africa. This consensus has emerged
in the last two decades, as molecular evidence has been coupled with findings from …

Since Darwin situated humans in an evolutionary framework, much discussion has focused
on environmental factors that may have shaped or influenced the course of human …

Abstract The Middle to Later Stone Age (MSA/LSA) transition is a prominent feature of the
African archeological record that began in some places~ 30,000–60,000 years ago …

The origin of Homo sapiens remains a matter of debate. The extent and geographic
patterning of morphological diversity among Late Middle Pleistocene (LMP) African …

Accumulating genomic, fossil and archaeological data from Africa have led to a renewed
interest in models of modern human origins. However, such discussions are often discipline …

Understanding the structure and variation of Homo sapiens populations in Africa is critical
for interpreting multiproxy evidence of their subsequent dispersals into Eurasia. However …
