| | KOW SWAMP: IS IT HOMO ERECTUS? PART II |
 | | Homo sapiens fossils, even somewhat unusual ones which the Australian ones are, are not going to tell us as much about human evolution as are non-sapiens fossils. | | | ..'Cohuna Man' is NOWHERE
and he may be MUCH more than an ordinary homo sapiens. | | | You state, As for Dr. Brown's saying "NOTHING like Homo erectus" (p.7), I expect he would admit some similarities (his article implies that some exist), but is only claiming that the skulls as a whole are not within the range of H. erectus. |

| | Human evolution -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | In modern taxonomy, Homo sapiens is the only extant ((biology) taxonomic group whose members can interbreed) species of its genus, (Any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae) Homo. | | | The term human, in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other non-human (A primate of the family Hominidae) hominids, such as the (Any of several extinct humanlike small-brained bipedal primates of the genus Australopithecus; from 1 to 4 million years ago) australopithecines. | | | The word homo is simply the (Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) Latin for "person", chosen originally by (Swedish botanist who proposed the modern system of biological nomenclature (1707-1778)) Linnaeus in his classificatory system. |

| | Evolution of Modern Humans: Early Modern Homo sapiens |
| | In a December 2002 report in the Journal of Human Evolution it was announced that a modern Homo sapiens skull from Liujiang County in Southern China has been tentatively dated to 139,000-111,000 years ago and that modern Homo sapiens teeth from two other sites in the same area have been dated to 94,000 years ago. | | | It would seem from these dates that the location of initial modern Homo sapiens evolution and the direction of their dispersion from that area is obvious. | | | Its advocates claim that there has been a continuity of some anatomical traits from archaic Homo sapiens to modern humans in Europe and Asia. |

| | Origins |
| | This example seems to apply fairly well to the case of human evolution: The term "Archaic Homo sapiens" is used to denote fossils from the period 500 kya to 100 kya that seem to be ancestral to Neanderthals and to modern humans. | | | the initial evolutionary step of Homo erectus in Africa to Homo sapiens in Africa was followed by a migration of Homo sapiens over the rest of the world, with the previous local populations of Homo erectus in Asia going extinct (the Replacement Model) (Figure 11). | | | The Aurignacian and later cultures are purely Homo sapiens, for by those times, there were no Neanderthals: from 30 kya to the present, all cultures and remains are those of fully modern humans. |

| | Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term "human", in the context of human evolution, refers to the genus Homo, but studies of human evolution usually include other hominids and hominines, such as the australopithecines. | | | Biologically, humans are classified as the species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man"): a bipedal primate of the superfamily Hominoidea, together with the other apes—chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons. | | | Biologically, humans are defined as hominids of the species Homo sapiens, of which the only extant subspecies is Homo sapiens sapiens. |

| | The spread of Homo sapiens sapiens to this entire planet was not the result of blind chance or natural evolution. | | | By the anatomical definition of Homo sapiens, anyone who lived 100,000 years ago, and who had a skull that could pass for normal in the world today, was a modern human who therefore was "wise." That anatomical definition of wisdom presumes too much and reveals too little. | | | Homo sapiens sapiens by definition are children of Isis. |
