The Evolution of Modern ManMarch 10, 2026770000 to 550000 years ago, the ancestors of modern humans diverged from those of Neanderthals and Denisovans, but there was no complete "reproductive isolation" between the three subspecies ". In fact, from a genetic point of view, they are just a "weaker" ancestor of modern people tens of thousands of years ago. Every modern person has more or less their genes in his body.
The Hobbit ExtinctionMarch 10, 2026Who were the Flores (Hobbits)? Why were they short? When did they become extinct? This article describes the fossils, evolution and extinction of this mysterious dwarf human.
Modern man in the sense of anatomyMarch 10, 2026What is modern man in the sense of anatomy? This paper systematically introduces the origin and characteristics of late Homo sapiens from the definition, key fossils (Jebel Iro, Omo, Herto), age and evolutionary diffusion.
Homo erectusMarch 10, 2026Homo erectus, which existed about 1.8 million to 200000 years ago, is a critical and successful species in the history of human evolution. Their body proportions are close to those of modern people. They can systematically use fire and make complex tools. They not only created the Acheri culture, but also made human beings walk out of Africa for the first time, which can be called a milestone in the evolution of the human genus.
Afa AustralopithecusMarch 10, 2026Australopithecus Afa is a vital species in the history of early human evolution. It lived in Africa more than 300 million years ago. The most famous representative is the fossil skeleton called "Lucy". She is also jokingly called "The grandmother of mankind", behind her is the "first family" of mankind ".
The MRCA of modern humansMarch 10, 2026What is the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of modern humans? How is it different from Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam? This article uses popular logic to explain the mystery of the common ancestor of all mankind.
Orina CultureMarch 10, 2026What is Aorina culture? Age, distribution, tools, murals and sculptures (Chauvius Caves, Lions, Hochler Fellows Venus).
Late Paleolithic RevolutionMarch 10, 2026About 50000 years ago, our race experienced something very special: just as Athena in Greek mythology injected soul into mankind, mankind suddenly possessed unprecedented figurative artistic creativity. This event, known as the "Late Paleolithic Revolution", is a watershed in the history of human evolution.
Denisovans mixed with modern peopleMarch 10, 2026Denisovans are an ancient human species discovered through DNA analysis. They coexisted with Neanderthals and modern humans and interbred with both. This paper provides a detailed analysis of gene flow, the EPAS1 gene on the Tibetan Plateau, the Xiahe mandible, and the distribution of ancestral components across global populations.
Neanderthals mixed with modern humansMarch 10, 2026Are modern people mixed with Neanderthals? How many Neanderthals genes do Europeans, Asians and Africans each contain? This article understands the history of gene exchange and evolution between humans and Neanderthals.
The earliest modern humans outside AfricaMarch 10, 2026Where are the earliest modern fossils outside Africa and how many years ago? This article introduces key sites such as Kafze and Misria, and combs the real timeline of modern people coming out of Africa.
Recent common ancestor based on chromosomes 1-22March 10, 2026Interpreting the recent common ancestor of human autosomes 1-22 from a genomic perspective, explaining DNA recombination, mutation and ancestral fragment inheritance, and popularizing the common ancestor time in the sense of human genetics.
Aldi apeMarch 10, 2026The Aldi ape is a common name for the species of the ancient human fossil "Aldi. It is one of the earliest known members of the hominid family and occupies a vital position in the history of human evolution.
The first human out of AfricaMarch 10, 2026The ancient fossils unearthed from various places can prove that the expansion of the genus of Man began as early as 2 million years ago. At the latest, 1.8 million years ago, the first time that the man's subordinate, the erectus, came out of Africa. It can be said that this is one of the largest geological and historical events in the history of the earth.
March 10, 2026The amazing species of Australopithecus lived in Ethiopia about 3.3 million years ago. It was in the same period or even partially overlapped with the famous Afar species of Australopithecus (such as "Lucy"), which proved the diversity of human evolution and completely changed the previous The simple view of "straight line evolution" of human origin
Cardabadi ApeMarch 10, 2026The meaning of kadaba is "the oldest ancestor", so they are also called "the ancestor of the ape", of course, refers to the ancestor of human beings. The ancestral apes can walk upright. Their most famous feature is their teeth. It is speculated that their diet is richer and they have stronger environmental adaptability. This is also one of the starting points for the separation of human ancestors and chimpanzee ancestors.
