Homo Floresiensis
HOBBIT (indonesia) 3 ft tall, still used fire, tools, hunting
Recent African Origin Hypothesis
Change into AMH occurred in Africa 1st....they spread and REPLACED everything else throughout world b/c of evolutionary adaptions that gave advantage

NO GENE FLOW....trace to one ancestor

Anagenesis
evolution change that occurs with the gene frequency in ENTIRE population.

mutation become common in entire population

Assimilation Hypothesis
both multiregional and recent african origin

AMH came from H. Sapien in africa

spread with w/gene flow and fucking indigenous people



Mutation MultiRegional
evolved within own population into AMH

origins of both H. Erectus and H. Sapien ancestry

Terra Amata, France
no skeleton just occupational site

evidence of SHELTERS (post-holes and soil) fire (Charcoal), Large animal bones

Acheulean tools
Seasonal knowledge (seeds)




Atapuerca, Spain
500,000 ya

not all fossils identical (transitional traits)
robust brow, thin cranium, changing vault shape, use of fire, consistent in living area


Neander Valley
found the neanderthal remains in 1856
Anatomically Modern Human
-intelligence
-language
-symbolism (abstract thought)
-theory of mind/ sense of self
-art/ ritual tools
-structures
-cooperation
-deception
-social rules and laws







Neanderthals
fossil group, dated 100,000-130,000 ya

adaptable, intelligent, effective PREDATORS

petralona cave, greece
large face/jaw

skull not classical H. Erectus though

lots of debate over classification depending on how you measure/interpret



Steinheim, Germany
300,000-250,000 mya

large brow, BUT still similar to H. Sapien (face tucked under brow)

many animal remains



Swanscombe, England
250,000 ya

only fragments of crania

many paleolithic tools (Clactonian Culture)



Puncuated Equilibrium
sudden evolutionary change then period of evolution stasis

HENCE no clear distinctions among groups (phases/transitions)

Dmanisi
5 crania fossils in Africa

linked to H. Erectus

proved H. Erectus migrated out of africa shortly after emerging



Heidelberg, Germany
only mandible found (robust/ large)

1st evidence of Transition

teeth smaller than H. Erectus



Clovis Point Tool Cultures
COMPLEX TOOLS

modifying flake an making a point for a spear

FOUND ONLY IN NEW WORLD



Divergence Theory
trace back to one ancestor

ROBUSTNESS becomes beneficial and descendant from H. Erectus

distinct H. Erectus specis that go extinct



Phase Theory
neanderthal= a phase not species

evolved from H. Erectus

after ICE AGE-went around fucking natives with GENE FLOW BITCH!
