Revising the story of the dispersal of modern humans across Eurasia

 A review of recent research on dispersals by early modern humans from
Africa to Asia by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the
Science of Human History and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa
confirms that the traditional view of a single dispersal of
anatomically modern humans out of Africa around 60,000 years ago can no
longer be seen as the full story. The analysis, published in the
journal Science, reviews the plethora of new discoveries being reported
from Asia over the past decade, which were made possible by
technological advances and interdisciplinary collaborations, and shows
that Homo sapiens reached distant parts of the Asian continent, as well
as Near Oceania, much earlier than previously thought. Additionally,
evidence that modern humans interbred with other hominins already
present in Asia, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, complicates the
evolutionary history of our species.

New model: Multiple dispersals of modern humans out of Africa,
beginning as early as 120,000 years ago
