A mapping of Homo Sapiens [in Ancient People & Artifacts]
Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens#Age_and_speciation_process
-------------------------------------------------
The view is a schematic representation of the emergence of Homo Sapiens from earlier species
The horizontal axis represents geographic location; the vertical axis represents time in millions of years ago (blue areas denote the presence of a certain species of Homo at a given time and place; late survival of robust Homo Australopithecus alongside Homo Sapiens is indicated in purple)
Based on "Springer (2012)," Homo Heidelbergensis is shown as diverging into Neanderthals, Denisovans and us, Homo Sapiens
With the rapid expansion of Homo Sapiens from 60,000 years ago, Neanderthals, Denisovans and unspecified archaic African hominins are shown as again subsumed into the Homo Sapiens lineage
