This is pre-history and part of the history of humans, therefore /his/ related (that being said the sticky should probably address if neanderthals and history of all species within the homo genus are /his/ related or not).
So what is /his/' take on the out of Africa theory?
I've seen loads of support for multiregionalism on 4chan, but I don't think it's actually taken seriously by many professionals.
>>76674
first of all, yeah i would believe this and other anthropological topics are /his/ related, as long as they are not clearly meant to be offensive to a certain group (bait)
and yeah, the out of africa theory is generally accepted. its clear all humans are the same race, and it had to originate somewhere
did anyone ever try to explain WHY early humans would have left africa?
deserts and snow-topped mountains aren't exactly "better" places to live
>>76674
Anthropology is part of /his/
The classification of of human ancestors and relatives for a few million years back is Physical Anthropology
Thus, neanderthals and the prehistory of the modern human species is firmly a part of /his/
>So what is /his/' take on the out of Africa theory?
Basically accurate. The problem with the Multliregional Theory is that is assumes too much genetic distinction between homo sapiens sapiens and what what kicking around in europe and asia. Out of Africa allows for the interbreeding of AMH and what other homos were around while Multiregional is predicated on phenotypic difference as evidence of great genetic variance.
Genetic data pretty much confirmed Out of Africa, hasn't really been questioned since the 80s and 90s.
Oh, and you're talking about "Out of Africa 2" since there was a great migration out of africa by homo ergastor, becoming homo heidelburgensis over time.
>>76674
The "out of Africa" theory, is the most widely accepted model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans.
Genetic studies and fossil evidence indicate that archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 60,000 years ago,[1] that members of one branch of Homo sapiens left Africa at some point between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced other populations of the genus Homo such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
The date of the earliest successful "out of Africa" migration (earliest migrants with living descendants) has generally been placed at 60,000 years ago based on mitochondrial genetics, but this model has recently been contested by simulations of mitochrondrial DNA data, 125,000 year old Arabian archaeological finds of tools in the region and the discovery of Homo sapiens teeth in China, dating to at least 80,000 years ago.
The recent single origin of modern humans in East Africa is the predominant position held within the scientific community
What else is there to know about this?
>>76854
They were fleeing the largest desert in the world.
>>76712
where, on /pol/? /b/?
Out of Africa is pretty much just accepted at this point in the field, it's got more evidence than multiregional since genetics came around
>>76890
>They were fleeing the largest desert in the world.
was africa a merciless desert 100k years ago?
this doesn't make sense, generally if a living creature is thriving enough to evolve like humans did, it wouldn't need to just pack up and go elsewhere
especially when that place is possibly worse for them
the whole premise is absurd

The Sahara use to be a Savanna. The rock art at Tassili n'Ajjer give proof to this, so sometime during and after the last Ice Age the Sahara wasn't a massive sand sea.
>>77037
>if a living creature is thriving enough to evolve like humans did, it wouldn't need to just pack up and go elsewhere
They'd move on for greener pastures if they're nomadic and following the migrations of other animals, if population density is too high to support them in the homeland and they're forced to wander off looking for food, or just plain curiosity wondering what's over that next mountain, across that river, or who's past the horizon.
The very same types of people that were driven to explore the world and figure things out have existed since there have been people.
>>77512
How much Neanderthal DNA do you have?
>>77512
No, because the Africans back then weren't niggers. Sure they lived in Africa and they would probably pass off as niggers today, but they have still changed genetically during the 100,000 years just like the other races have. It's not like whites evolved straight out of blacks.
I simplified everything to an extreme because you sound like a /pol/tard faggot.
>>76860
This. OOA is mostly accurate. H. sapiens sapiens originated in Africa. Non-Africans have some admixture from archaic groups in Eurasia (Neanderthals/Denisovans), but only a few percent, and Africans have some as well from various back-migrations
>>76674
It is the most widely accepted theory, and the one that makes sense.
One can argue about the migratory waves, but it's hard to argue when the oldest remains of modern humans were found in the Rift.
>>76712

No, if there are two groups A. living in India and B. living in Spain.
Consider climate change at the end of the last ice age, both populations can begin to migrate into new environments where new skill sets are rewarded whereas before skill sets suited to pre migration were rewarded over and over throughout long periods of time.
Both groups are now rewarding different males the opportunity to breed, ie. diversity of the group.
The Fox study shows us that Social Changes = Mutations. Therefore the mutation for Blue eyes can occur in two disparate regions as opposed to the commonly held view that mutations spread like a disease.

>The availability of a large data set of DNA samples from >1,000 individuals distributed worldwide and typed at hundreds of genetic markers1,2 has led to the description of extremely strong patterns in the geographic distribution of genetic diversity in humans. Genetic differentiation between populations increases essentially linearly with geographic distance, computed along landmasses.3–6 Even more striking is the observation that geographic distance along landmasses from East Africa (a likely origin of anatomically modern humans) is an excellent predictor of the genetic diversity of individual populations throughout the world. Indeed, genetic diversity decreases smoothly with increasing geographic distance from Africa.7,8
These patterns offer compelling evidence for the hypothesis of a recent African origin of modern humans.9–13 They further suggest a scenario of the colonization of the world by modern humans through a large number of successive bottlenecks of small amplitude and a predominance of gene flow over limited distance.7 The simple nature of the patterns described, their smoothness, and the large proportion of variance explained by linear regressions offer an exciting opportunity to model these patterns with tractable population-genetics models, to gain insight into the key parameters of human-settlement history.

Outside the argument. You can either go with where Jared Diamond was going or where Why Nations Fail went.
Either you succeed because of environmental determinism or because of inclusive vs exclusive societies, IE do your people work together to share the franchise. Or you go the racial route which may be where Jared Diamond was heading before he stepped on the breaks.
>In an article for Capitalism Nature Socialism about geographer Jared Diamond titled "F**k Jared Diamond" Correia opines that Diamond's Pulitzer Prize winning book Guns, Germs and Steel was "dull," and "chockfull of the bad and the worse, the random and the racist." Correia's critique stems from his assertion that Diamond "develops an argument about human inequality based on a determinist logic that reduces social relations such as poverty, state violence, and persistent social domination, to inexorable outcomes of geography and environment.[19]

What I find amusing is that racists like to call Africans monkeys and shit
African DNA doesn't have neanderthal DNA in it, yet Europeans, Aussies and Asians all do (at least 1% from what I've heard). If anything, Europeans are closer to monkeys than Africans.

>We're saying such a thing is very unlikely to be the cause of other "types" of humans, because that would imply environmental factors led to the differences in modern humans.
What the fuck else would cause that?
>But yes it's also hard to imagine animalistic pre-humans leaving a jungle when they already have what nature provides. Isolated stone-age tribes still exist because of this behavior.
Probably because they weren't animalistic, and life wasn't as easy as you're suggesting, and population growth is a thing, and also stone age tribes spread out all the time.
You're making no goddamn sense.

>Also, that it was then when the woman transmitted speech to the man (it is further suggested that this may have been the Original Sin of the biblical Genesis), signalizing this transmission with the beginning of the symbolic thought, thus promoting the first artistic displays, like sculptures, painting or music, which were associated with the expansion of love and speech to the relationship between the sexes, with the consequent diversification of languages, mainly in the last 10,000 to 5,000 years. Love caused and causes human speech in both, phylogeny and ontogeny.

Well we did for awhile when it was conducive, in my homeland of DRC we created these 110K to 80K years ago back when the rainforest was actually a much drier Savannah that supported human populations
It was a very conducive moment in time but after words Africa has been dealing with fluctuations the rest of Afraeurasia never dealt with.
In fact unlike the rest of the world the first forms of domestication came in the form of animals namely the African cow, only later did we moved from reliance of what is called "krebs" self sowing rain germinating fields of wild grains into the crops we know today; firstly Folio, pearl millet, finger millet, sorghum, teff, guinea millet and African rice.
Our crops are not like most of the world's in that they weren't domesticated in the rich bottomlands of river valleys rather the impetus of domestication was in the desiccation of the Neolithic Subpluvial, in that the domestication process was centered less toward BIG yields in exceptional years that were equivalent to river bottom fertility and rain and more so modest to low yields every year without extreme drought as well as the harvested grass used for fodder.
Over all the salinity, mineral toxicity, massive bird pests, bushpigs and other faunal and climatic irregularities formed the basis of our agriculture and thus shaped our society vastly different than Mesopotamia and China.
Egypt is different because they had the Nile but they still received Nabta Playa farmers of sorghum kreb 7K bc.

>This theory is now highly discredited by many scholars due to the lack of supporting evidence. It was once thought that the fossil records from Australia and Asia could be understood as showing evidence for such regional continuity. The facial structure of the Dali cranium from China, for example, appears to be modern in its proportions. The cheek bones are highly delicate. For a proponent of the multi-regionalist theory, this indicates an intermediate stage between earlier archaic hominids (i.e. Homo erectus found at sites such as Lantian, China) and later Holocene populations living after 10,000 BC. However, the conditions of these fossil materials were poorly preserved and, in the case of the Dali cranium, highly mutilated through post-depositional weight loading. There are also no fossil materials dating from between 100,000 and 30,000 BC – this gap undermines the multi-regional hypothesis as it indicates a lack of any modern Chinese anatomical features from before 100,000 years ago (Pettitt, P 2009b:130).
It took like 30 seconds
>>79514
We have Neanderthal DNA, any body who know human migration would say this years ago and it was reconfirmed most recently here
http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34479905
Hell there are other studies that show a 20K year old back migration too
>>79716
>The strong anatomical basis of the multi-regional hypothesis is a weakness of the theory. Chris Stringer highlights this, suggesting that the physical features used to support the regional continuity (i.e. flatness of the frontal bone and the constriction of the skull behind the orbital area) are not only found in specific regions such as Asia, but all around the world. This suggests that these physical features are in fact general Homo characteristics and cannot therefore be used in support of the multi-regionalist view (Stringer, C 1984, cited by Pettitt, P 2009:131).
>>79738
>The most highly damaging critique of this hypothesis stems from recent genetic research. The multi-regional model proposes a shared genetic lineage between archaic Neanderthals and modern humans. Geneticists have proved this idea to be purely imaginative. Work on the Neander Valley skeleton and others have demonstrated that such a link in descent does not exist. It has been widely credited that Neanderthals did not contribute, in any case, to the human genome and therefore the evolution of modern humans (EP 2006b:71).
>On the basis that there is little supporting evidence to suggest the validity of the multi-regionalist view, it would seem that its competitor, the Out of Africa 2 model or population replacement model, has the upper hand. The Out of Africa 2 model is a strong contender in accounting for the spread and development of anatomically modern Homo sapiens sapiens (EP 2006c: 69).
>>79514
Hello there little Jimmie! It seems you've made the rookie-mistake of assuming that evolution is in a linear line!
Well, little Jimmie, see, evolution isn't a linear line from X to Y. Just like a tree, branches separate, go together, and end. Homo Sapiens didn't evolve from Neanderthals, they evolved from Homo Erectus which Homo Sapiens also evolved from. After these two groups were isolated for so long, they could now be considered two vastly different species.
>>79606
Genetic diversity is not the same as advancement. If anything that's a point against African development because higher diversity could only come about by a population staying similar to one another for longer.

First of all, its a news article not a citation.
Second of all:
Dr Pontus Skoglund, from the department of genetics at Harvard Medical School, told BBC News: "The genetic evidence we have puts strong constraints on some aspects of human history, but less so on the timing of the out of Africa event. Most genetic reconstructions based on modern data relies on assumptions on the mutation rate, for which there are still some real uncertainties.
"In terms of direct genetic evidence, we already have a 45,000 year-old genome from Siberia (Ust Ishim) and a ~40,000 year old individual from Europe (Oase) that are consistent with being from now-mostly-extinct lineages. "
"The conclusion is perhaps that the genetics does allow an 80,000 year old East Asian population to contribute some ancestry to present-day people, but I think not very much. It is a very interesting discovery that is hard to fit in our current thinking, but not impossible. We are just starting to cope with this data point."
>>79810
It doesn't, that's the point, for every blue eyed person they find in ancient DNA, they expand the empire of Hunter Gatherers, they had to increase the size of range, if a blue eyed gene is found in China tomorrow, then the fictional Fingolian Empire will encompass the whole planet.
>>79820
>>79849
The "out of Africa" theory, is the most widely accepted model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans.
Genetic studies and fossil evidence indicate that archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 60,000 years ago, that members of one branch of Homo sapiens left Africa at some point between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced other populations of the genus Homo such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
The date of the earliest successful "out of Africa" migration (earliest migrants with living descendants) has generally been placed at 60,000 years ago based on mitochondrial genetics, but this model has recently been contested by simulations of mitochrondrial DNA data, 125,000 year old Arabian archaeological finds of tools in the region and the discovery of Homo sapiens teeth in China, dating to at least 80,000 years ago.
The recent single origin of modern humans in East Africa is the predominant position held within the scientific community
> but this model has recently been contested by simulations of mitochrondrial DNA data, 125,000 year old Arabian archaeological finds of tools in the region and the discovery of Homo sapiens teeth in China, dating to at least 80,000 years ago.

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34531861
OOA is a shaky theory, and in time, will be proven to be the worse theory.
>>79990
I am well aware of the silver fox experiment. It certainly proves that artificial selection for behavioral traits can also influence physical appearance.
This is due to neoteny and is tied to human self-domestication. Certainly social factors can cause evolution to go one way or another, this happens in animals and is known as sexual selection. Typically seen being performed by the female of the species to select peculiar, otherwise non-adaptive traits in males.
Humans are nearly unique in that we have engaged in sexual selection of the female of our species, hence red/blonde hair and blue/green eyes, in addition to childlike features and behaviour.
>>79990
How is the fox experiment relevant to this discussion?
Mutations are caused at random, scientist just selected the ones they liked the most in order to tame them. SELECTED.
>>79980
>Why is OOA more accepted? Ever consider the genetic evidence?
What does it matter? We could find a fossil in the British isles that's older than all others and people would still claim it walked there from Africa.
OOA is accepted because it's comfortable for certain world views. All science is divided like this.
>>80053
So Blue eyes can mutate in disparate geographic regions due to global stimulus, such as the end of the last Ice Age.
>>79978
Nasal physiology changes with cold and or dry air, same with lips and kinky hair (though none are ugly imho) even then the argument that wide and flat features are the basis of all humans is incorrect.
That in and of itself is an adaption that happened later when we migrated to the humid lowlands from the afromontane of Ethiopia.
>>80007
Neoteny was categorized by early physical anthropologists and apparently Khoisan were categorized as the "most" neotenous.

Genetic science has been exponentially increasing in the last 5 or less years. The old theory will be thrown out as new information arises.
I don't really see what you're finding issue with. Homo sapiens most likely did come out of Africa, but that doesn't mean that all of our development was done there. Weve confirmed that races other than Africans have neanderthal DNA that contributed to their development. They didn't get it in Africa.

The conclusions of that paper weren't solely based on the fact that there weren't any modern Homo Sapiens in China, and furthermore, in the very article, it says that the data point fits into the OOA hypothesis.
>>80080
It proves that Social Changes cause physical mutations.
Consider Eskimos in the Arctic, they are limited to a select number of roles within the group, the chance for diversity with the group is limited due to environmental factors, now if you take the whole group into a different environment, say a Savannah environment, then the diversity of skill sets will change and thus mutations can occur within that group. The diversity of social change will allow for diversity of physical traits such as eye color.
>>80116
That doesn't disprove anything
>"So either there must have been rapid evolution of the dentitions of a Skhul-Qafzeh type population [read:a transitional hominid] in Asia by about 80,000 years, or the Daoxian teeth represent a hitherto-unsuspected early and separate dispersal of more modern-looking humans."

That actually is fascinating and I'm going to be following it more closely from now on as I'd like to see what they uncover down that line of questioning. But you do seem to be approaching it from a decidedly anti-OOA bent, rather than simply seeking the truth. Even the researchers quoted in the article haven't jumped to your conclusions, and appear to be first examining whether this simply means there was an earlier migration from Africa that was far more successful than was first theorized.
>>80151

No it doesn't.
>"Many workers (often including me) have argued that the early dispersal of modern humans from Africa into the Levant recorded by the fossils from Skhul and Qafzeh at about 120,000 years ago was essentially a failed dispersal which went little or no further than Israel."
>"However, the large sample of teeth from Daoxian seem unquestionably modern in their size and morphology, and they look to be well-dated by uranium-thorium methods to at least 80,000 years. At first sight this seems to be consistent with an early dispersal across southern Asia by a population resembling those known from Skhul and Qafzeh.
>"But the Daoxian fossils resemble recent human teeth much more than they look like those from Skhul and Qafzeh, which retain more primitive traits. So either there must have been rapid evolution of the dentitions of a Skhul-Qafzeh type population in Asia by about 80,000 years, or the Daoxian teeth represent a hitherto-unsuspected early and separate dispersal of more modern-looking humans."

20,000 fucking years.
>>80235
No it isnt. They still didn't get their Neanderthal DNA by staying in africa. The timeline (roughly) is this: Homo sapiens arises in Africa. Homo sapiens goes out of Africa. H.S. meets Neanderthals and acquires N. Dna. Some H.S. stay out of Africa and acquire more N. DNA. Othe H.S. goes back into Africa and introduces small amount of neanderthal DNA to the Homo sapiens left behind.
So yes, humans came out of africa but developed into the distinct, different races that we see today outside of africa.
>>80329
>Do you want me to lie and say I'm not biased?
I just want you to try and take a step back and think about WHY you're biased in the manner you are. What exactly are you wanting to prove by disproving OOA, and what do you want to keep so badly that you would lose if you had to accept OOA as a theory?

The "Out of Africa" theory has been discredited many times. It was first started as a campaign in the 1990's to promote "equality" and was accepted by scholars at that time as true. Although many scientists have now discredited the theory, it is still taught in schools for some reason. I guess you can say the same people who started that campaign movement are the same people who influence universities and Liberal Campaigns of "Equality". Even if the all out of Africa theory is correct, we've all separated far enough to be our own unique cultures with different strengths. According to the Research of James Watson, a well known scientist whites have gotten more advanced and smarter than other races. Don't listen to the liberals false campaigns of "equality" when modern science can prove against it, unless you know who is funding that research.
>>80393
OOA states that 60,000 years ago people moved out of africa and went on to populate the globe.
If OOA was as true and correct as you believe it is, it wouldn't have a GIANT FUCKING GAPING 20,000 YEAR HOLE IN IT
>This means that everything below those stalagmites must be older than 80,000 years old; the human teeth could be as old as 125,000 years, according to the researchers.
The teeth found in china are probably even older than 80,000 years. "Well maybe there was TWO, or THREE out of africa migrations!" simply does not cut it. At all.

There's no evidence that these 80,000 year old teeth would be of people who came from africa, that is speculation. OOA theory only goes back 60,000 years.
I know about the out of africa theory but have also heard that Turkey was the cradle of mankind. Which is it?

>I've actually read Stringer's book Lone Survivors and it makes similar points as this piece here. He's simply proposing a more nuanced view that's muddied up by the fact that earlier humans got freaky with everything we saw and made hybrids with other closely related species.
Yes, that's exactly why I said "modified OOA" as opposed to the original formulation wherein we are all literally identical except for meaningless variations in phenotype

>OOA theory only goes back 60,000 years.
No, it was updated.

Yeah, I'm totally sure it was updated in the 15 days since those teeth were found.
Lel. And think about the implications of what you are even saying. So OOA theory goes back 60,000 years, Chinese researches find 80,000 year old teeth. What evidence is there to support an earlier migration?
There isn't any, OOA advocates take any evidence that makes the theory look weak, and just shove it into their theory along with it.

Jared Diamond makes me laugh because it's clear he was going one direction, and then went, "Nope, shit, time to apply the same arguments to a different hypothesis so I can avoid unwanted conclusions."
Anyway, who has that delightful image macro of the guy demolishing Diamond in a series of rageposts? I hate to reference macros for any serious posting, but it was of relatively high quality.

Some of the oldest archaeological sites evincing organized habitation by human societies may be found in Turkey, such as Göbekli Tepe, but I am not aware of any theory which ascribes to Turkey the origin of modern man.
