The expansion of modern human populations in Africa 80,000 to 60,000 years ago and their initial exodus out have been tentatively linked two phases technological behavioral innovation within the Middle Stone Age southern Africa-the Still Bay Howieson's Poort industries-that are associated with early evidence for symbols personal ornaments. Establishing correct sequence events, however, has hampered by inadequate chronologies. We report ages nine sites from varied climatic ecological zones...
To date, the earliest modern human fossils found outside of Africa are dated to around 90,000 120,000 years ago at Levantine sites Skhul and Qafzeh. A maxilla associated dentition recently discovered Misliya Cave, Israel, was 177,000 194,000 ago, suggesting that members Homo sapiens clade left earlier than previously thought. This finding changes our view on dispersal is consistent with recent genetic studies, which have posited possibility an 220,000 ago. The full-fledged Levallois...
Recent developmental studies demonstrate that early fossil hominins possessed shorter growth periods than living humans, implying disparate life histories. Analyses of incremental features in teeth provide an accurate means assessing the age at death developing dentitions, facilitating direct comparisons with and modern humans. It is currently unknown when where prolonged human condition originated. Here, application x-ray synchrotron microtomography reveals Homo sapiens juvenile from...
New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of with U-Th palaeomagnetic analyses flowstones to establish that all containing Homo naledi fossils can be allocated a single stratigraphic entity (sub-unit 3b), interpreted deposited between 236 ka 414 ka. This result has been confirmed independently by three H. teeth U-series electron spin resonance (US-ESR) dating. Two scenarios were tested...
Abstract New dating confirms that people occupied the Australian continent before earliest time inferred from conventional radiocarbon analysis. Many of new ages were obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry 14 C after an acid–base–acid pretreatment with bulk combustion (ABA-BC) or a newly developed acid–base–wet oxidation stepped (ABOX-SC). The samples (charcoal) came occupation levels Devil's Lair site in southwestern Western Australia. Initial this was previously dated 35,000 yr B.P....
