    modern humans to 195,000 years ago. Early Homo sapiens fossils have come from underground in Sudan, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Israel. Many scientists have discovered that modern Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and then soon began to spread to other parts of the world 90,000 years ago or a little earlier. It is still unknown why or how this happened though. It was not until about 40,000 years ago that modern humans and Homo sapiens emerged. Homo sapiens are the groups in which all other living human

    Quantifying diversification dynamics in Chameleons The objective of this research is to investigate diversification rate shifts to see if there was a higher speciation rate in chameleons once they dispersed from Africa to Madagascar. My phylogenetic tree was built from 6-genes, multiple nuclear and mitochondrial markers and 174 taxa, it represents over eighty-three percent chameleon species. Using three different reconstruction methods, Bayesian and likelihood approaches it was seen that the family

    in regards to our own beginnings. Religion and science have examined what makes us who we are, and have tried to answer the enduring question of our own modern origins. Scientifically, theories are still debated as to when, where, and how modern Homo sapiens came to be what they are today. There are two major theories that now dominate the discussions of experts in the field of biological anthropology: the “Out-of-Africa” model and the “Multiregional” model of evolution. Stringer and Andrews argue

    continents. Diamond first examines human origin around 7 million years ago when a population of African apes evolved into some of the earliest humans. This evolutionary process occurred and remained in Africa until around 1.5 million years ago when Homo erectus spread beyond Africa. By about .5 million years ago, human populations had differentiated with Neanderthals in Europe, relatively modern structured humans in Africa, and humans different from both in East Asia. It wasn’t until 50,000 years

    The Early human migration was an event that eventually led to all of the known world’s current human population and their various locations. Homo erectus (before Homo sapiens) began their journey by migrating through both the Levantine corridor and the Horn of Africa all the way to Eurasia during the Early Pleistocene. However, if we are to look at Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, it is believed that they retreated back to Africa and did not proceed to go east across Asia until approximately 75,000 years
