摘要: Abstract The modern human expansion process out of Africa has important implications for understanding the genetic and phenotypic structure extant populations. While intensely debated, primary hypotheses focus on either a single dispersal or multiple dispersals continent. Here, we use fossil record from Levant, as well an exceptionally large dataset Holocene crania sampled Asia, to model ancestor–descendant relationships along hypothetical routes. We test spatial temporal predictions competing out-of-Africa models by assessing correlation geographical distances between populations measures population differentiation derived quantitative cranial phenotype data. Our results support in which Australo-Melanesians are descendants initial early anatomically humans, while all other later migration wave. have complexity origins diversity.
