FIRST PARAGRAPH: There has been a debate on the origin of anatomically modern humans. One side, supported by the Geneticists and now more from other fields, suggested an “out-of-Africa” replacement model, assuming that ancestors of modern humans evolved in Africa, and spread and replaced all other hominids subsequently. The other side, which has been insisted by some paleoanthropologists, suggested the multiregional model claims that a gradual transition from Homo erectus to modern humans took place on different continents in the Old World. There are also some intermediate models, acknowledging an African origin of modern humans but with some contribution from other archaic hominids outside Africa.

尼安德特人挑战现代人“出非洲”学说?

首节:现代人的起源是学术界长期争论的问题。“出非洲”学说认为现代人的祖先起源于非洲而迁徙扩散到其他大陆,并取代了当地的古人种。然而,多地区起源说则认为不同大陆上的古人类独立、连续地进化成了现代人。还有一些中间学说,既承认现代人起源于非洲,又认为非洲外的古人类对其有遗传贡献。
