[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: Lulz. [qb]Cabrera et al have already become dated.[/qb] I predicted this would happen. The authors were just asking for it. If you follow archaeology you know that the humans outside of Africa 130ky ago are nothing special in terms of leaving Africa prior to mtDNA M and N. [/QUOTE]There is a good possibility that 130ky old Skhul and Qafzeh folk are to some degree survivors of this ~200ky old OOA presence. The Skhul Qafzeh folk supposedly made tools that are indistinguishable from Neanderthal tools. This would be weird if they were MIS 5 arrivals from Africa, but it would not be so weird if part of their ancestry derives from that ~200ky old OOA presence. In that scenario I could see them ending up with more Neanderthal-like tools after mixing with archaics culturally and genetically over time. Another possibility is that the Middle Palaeolithic Mousterian itself is an OOA culture, since it's fully analogous to developments that started much earlier in Africa (i.e. the MSA). So, (so far) we could have one OOA associated with the Mousterian (found among the Skhul-Qafzeh people), one OOA associated with the Amudian (found >200ky ago) and one OOA associated with the last interglacial, when we see African fauna in the Levant.
