A mapping of Homo Sapiens [in Ancient People & Artifacts]
Details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens#Age_and_speciation_process
-------------------------------------------------
This is a schematic representation of the emergence of H. sapiens from earlier species of Homo
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 Australopithecus alongside Homo 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 H. sapiens after 60,000 years, Neanderthals, Denisovans and unspecified archaic African hominins are shown as again subsumed into the H. sapiens lineage.
