archaic human

The category archaic human lacks a single, agreed upon definition.

Robin Dunbar has argued that archaic humans were the first to use language.

He largely bases his doubts on the fossil record of archaic humans and their stone tool kit.

The emergence of archaic humans is sometimes used as an example of punctuated equilibrium.

Extinct Homo species are known as archaic humans.

Modern human sites older than this have a more primitive set of stone implements, similar to those used by archaic humans like the Neanderthals.

What the study didn't touch on was why DNA sequences from archaic humans is still around.

The modern humans "replaced" the archaic humans, which is a nice way of saying they drove them into extinction.

The data suggests that modern and archaic humans interbred in Asia before the migration to Australia.

Their discovery means that archaic humans, who left Africa 1.5 million years earlier than modern people, survived far longer into recent times than was previously supposed.

Modern humans probably exterminated the world's other archaic humans, the Neanderthals in Europe.

The curvature is more similar structurally to the brow ridges in archaic humans from Europe and Africa.

The analysis suggested that this reflected the worldwide expansion of modern humans as a new species, replacing rather than mixing with local archaic humans.

Archaic humans had a brain size averaging 1200 to 1400 cubic centimeters, which overlaps with the range of modern humans.

We don't have much evidence that the Neanderthals or other archaic humans ever led to an extinction of a species of mammal or anything else.

Isn't it possible convergence caused modern humans to re-develop similar features to archaic humans because of similar lifestyles?

It may be that during the period when human population was the smallest the processes that separated humans as a species from other archaic humans began.

But without DNA evidence we can't conclusively say modern Africans interbred with even older archaic humans.

As they moved north and east, modern humans encountered Neanderthals and other so-called "archaic humans," who already inhabited those regions.

By arriving at original thoughts, which are often highly creative and rely on metaphor and analogy modern humans differ from archaic humans.

Right now, however, this remains the first published case where there is strong evidence that we've retained DNA sequences from archaic humans because it was adaptive.

Genetic studies indicate some form of hybridization between archaic humans and modern humans had taken place after modern humans emerged from Africa.

The brain size of archaic humans expanded significantly from 900 cubic centimeters in erectus to 1300 cubic centimeters.

Modern humans are theorized to have evolved from archaic humans, who in turn evolved from Homo erectus.

Varieties of archaic humans are sometimes included under the binomial name "Homo sapiens" because their brain size is very similar to that of modern humans.
