[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: ^ Indeed. The term used to describe lower paleolithic humans is "generalized modern", but have you (Bonkers) ever bothered to look up what that entails?? Here is a reconstruction of Qafzeh 9 woman from a cave in Israel representing a member of the first people to leave Africa. [IMG]http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/images/Qazfeh%5B1%5D.JPG[/IMG] She was featured in the Discovery Channel program [i]The Real Eve[/i]. [/QUOTE]It has been suggested that the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids had died out by 80,000 years ago because of drying conditions. This would suggest that the two types of human never made contact in the region. They were initially regarded as transitional fossils between Neanderthals and modern humans. However they are now regarded as a separate lineage from the Neanderthals, and may represent the first exodus of modern humans from Africa around 125,000 years ago. However the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids showed “Neanderthal features” before the arrival of Neanderthals in the region, suggesting that the robust features of the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids represent archaic sapiens features, and that the hybridization between modern humans and Neanderthals may have taken place somewhere else. Furthermore it has been suggested that the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids represent an extinct lineage, and that modern humans again exited Africa around 80,000 years ago, crossing a narrow stretch of water between present day Eritrea and the Arabian Peninsula, although convincing archaeological evidence in support of this hypothesis has yet to be found (July, 2010). But in 2005, a set of 7 teeth from Tabun Cave in Israel were studied and found to most likely belong to a Neanderthal that may have lived around 90,000 years ago, and another Neanderthal (C1) from Tabun was estimated to be 122,000 years old. If the dates are correct for these individuals then it is possible that Neanderthals and early moderns did make contact in the region and it may be possible that the Skhul/Qafzeh hominids are partially of Neanderthal descent. ^ Oppenheimer, S.
