out of africa hypothesis |
amh evolved in africa between 250k and 150k ya after 100k bp we spread out from africa we replaced all other hominin with little inter breeding everyones mtDNA can be traced to a MITOCHONDRIAL EVE |
|
Regional Continuity Hypothesis |
AMHS evolved in multiple regions appeared more or less the same time in asia africa and europe occurred through constant gene flow between these regions noT by PARALLEL EVOLUTION |
|
Evidence that supports Out of Africa |
1. Fossil Record 2. Genetics esp. mtDNA human genetic variability is very low in our mtDNA low variability in male y chromosomes as well 3. African ppl have the greatest amount of genetic variability in their mtDNA and y chromosomes symbolically means they place of origin |
|
Weak Garden of Eden |
The movement out of africa was a diffusion of a successful genetic package not necessarily a movement of actual ppl |
|
C. Linnaeus |
1700s classifies modern humans into racial views (stereotypes) |
|
Social Evolution |
that race is reflected in the notion that cultures evolve towards more advanced forms |
|
Biological Determinism |
Cultural variability was seen as biologically determined (that different races have different capabilities is the definition of racism) |
|
Normative View |
members of different groups are characterized by discrete traits and can be easily divided into discrete categories |
|
human biocultural evolution |
humans also use culture to adapt to changing conditions culture is defined as a extrasomatic means of adaption |
