Study Notes
Evolution of Homo Sapiens
- Homo Sapiens translates to "Wise Man" in Latin.
- The evolutionary path: Primates to Hominids → Hominids to Australopithecus → Australopithecus to Homo Erectus → Homo Erectus to Homo Sapiens.
Migration Theories
- Multi Regional Theory: Suggests Homo Sapien evolution took place across Africa, Eurasia, and Oceania.
- Out of Africa Theory: Most accepted theory, proposing that Homo Sapiens evolved from Homo Erectus in Africa and later migrated globally.
Key Migration Events
- First migration to the Middle East occurred approximately 125,000 years ago.
- A significant eruption of Mt. Toba in Sumatra triggered a 1,000-year ice age, endangering the survival of Homo Sapiens.
Social Development
- The challenging conditions led to the necessity for group cooperation, resulting in the formation of family structures and tribes.
- The second wave of migration occurred between 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
- Homo Sapiens during this period closely resembled modern humans in both physical traits and social behaviors, facilitating their spread across the globe.
