210k-year-old skull in Greece is earliest sign of modern humans in Europe, Asia
Can someone link to a kind of summary of the current best understanding of human evolution and dispersal? It's really fascinating to me.<p>Until recently, I had naively understood "Out of Africa" to mean that <i>homo sapiens</i> evolved in Africa from some sort of ape like thing and then went out and conquered the world. But the idea that <i>homo sapiens</i> is just one of many kinds of human species, and that other ones like Neanderthals and Denosivans left Africa earlier (or evolved from <i>homo erectus</i> who left earlier still...?) is really mind blowing. It's weird to me to think of multiple human species living at the same time.
