Biological Anthropology: An Evolutionary Perspective

On the Origins of Homo sapiens (1x17)

Ausstrahlung: Jan 01, 2000

Did modern Homo sapiens evolve entirely on the African continent, then fan out into Asia and Europe, replacing other hominid forms as they went? Or would it be more accurate to see evolution from intermediate hominid forms occurring simultaneously, and in the same direction, on all three continents? Fossils, knowledge of evolution, and genetic testing all contribute to theories, but no single answer has yet been reached.
