Skull development, tools, art, genes, all go in the very opposite direction of what main stream PC science tries to propose in its eagerness to please its own invention*, Afrocentrism.
* An ashamed Klevius admits that he
also used to be an Afro-centrist until he realized the awful
crypto-racism it contained - back in the 1980s.
And when data don't fit the wanted picture it's called "mysteries".
However, the biggest mystery seems to be the axiomatic "Adam" haplogroup
A00 which was not created by a god but by biased OOA people.
Most "mysteries" in genetics disappear by abandoning OOA and changing direction of HSS evolution. Only South East Asia offered a combination of tropical island/mainland fluctuations needed to put pressure on size reduction paired with evolutionary isolation in an environment where only those survived who managed to shrink their heads while keeping the same intelligence as their mainland kins with some double the sized brain. Homo floresiensis is evidence that such has happened there.
Early modern human settlement of Europe north of the Alps occurred 43,500 years ago in a cold steppe-type environment long before similarly skilled humans appeared in Mideast.
Kostenki on the Don river in the European part of Russia has layers associated with culturally modern humans underneath the ~40,000 bp Campanian eruption.
The clearly modern human (we have even his DNA) called Ust-Ishim man is ~45,000 bp and found at the Irtysh River near Ural mountains.
Early Ahmarian culture and the Protoaurignacian culture, living in south and west Europe and west Asia around 40,000 years ago used small stone points as tips for hunting weapons like throwing spears, and they appeared in Europe 3,500 years earlier than in the Levant. This is logical if those humans came from the Altai area in Siberia and followed the Mammoth steppe which went all the way to central Europe and never came even close to Mideast.
The oldest HSS skull ever found is from east Asia.
Liujiang HSS, 1567cc, est. 70,000 bp
to more than 150,000 bp. Even the lowest possible estimate is far
earlier than anything similar in Africa, Mideast or Europe.
UPDATE: In April 2024 Liujiang was re-dated to Cro-Magnon age. This doesn't affect anything of Peter Klevius evolution theory, but certainly makes the combination of truly modern Asian features together with an occipital bun quite interesting, and seems to fit perfectly in a spread from East to West where Cro-Magnon displays much more archaic features because it had to "wade" through (hybridize) Neanderthal "gene-land". That also explains Cro-Magnon's protruding "superman chin".
Do consider the multitude of techniques in use to blur the physical HSS
definition. However, this skull can't be confused with anything from
Africa before 70,000 bp.
The Liujiang skull most probably came from sediment dating to 111,000 to
139,000 bp but there is a small chance that it came either from a
deposit dating from around 68 000 bp or from one dating to more than 153
000 bp. However, even the loweat est. combined with its very modern
shape and size would even then make it the first of its kind.
Early modern human settlement of Europe north of the Alps occurred 43,500 years ago in a cold steppe climate - and 3,500 years earlier than in Mideast.
Some 37,000-42,000 bp Neanderthals in Romania/Europe are supposed to have disappeared. Oase 1 is within the Aurignacian cultural tradition, which was the first wave of modern humans in Europe est. 45,000-35,000 bp. Compare this to the 45,000 bp modern HSS at Ust-ishim in western Siberia, of whom we have a full DNA.
John Hawks: The morphology of the skull is very comparable to those that come from the early Upper Paleolithic of Europe. Its parietal bones bulge outward and upward into distinct bosses, which place its maximum breadth relatively high on the parietal bones, not at the midpoint of the skull as in Neandertals. But like many early Upper Paleolithic crania, it has Neandertal-like features. In the case of Manot 1, the occipital bone projects backward into a bun-like structure and there is a slight erosion of the surface of bone at the cranial rear called a suprainiac fossa.
Oase 1 from the same site and time as Oase 2, was clearly human but had some 5 to 11 percent of his genome originated from Neanderthals. This individual's Neanderthal ancestry was more recent than that of any modern human tested previously. Some half of its chromosome 12 sequence coincided with Neanderthals rather than modern humans and it had a Neanderthal ancestor within the past four to six generations, pointing to later than anticipated admixture between Neanderthals and the modern human population to which Oase 1 belonged.
Tampa Ling (Laos) skull (TPL1) and jaw (TPL2) est. 46,000-63,000 bp.
Recent discoveries in Laos, a modern human cranium (TPL1) from Tam Pa Ling‘s cave, provided the first evidence for the presence of early modern humans in mainland Southeast Asia by 63-46 ka. In the current study, a complete human mandible representing a second individual, TPL 2, is described using discrete traits and geometric morphometrics with an emphasis on determining its population affinity. The TPL2 mandible has a chin and other discrete traits consistent with early modern humans, but it retains a robust lateral corpus and internal corporal morphology typical of archaic humans across the Old World. The mosaic morphology of TPL2 and the fully modern human morphology of TPL1 suggest that a large range of morphological variation was present in early modern human populations residing in the eastern Eurasia by MIS 3.
Niah skull, Sarawak (Malaysia) est. 39,000-45,000 bp.
