List of first human settlements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Overview map of the peopling of the world by anatomically modern humans (numbers indicate dates in thousands of years ago [kya])

This is a list of dates associated with the prehistoric peopling of the world (first known presence of Homo sapiens).

The list is divided into four categories, Middle Paleolithic (before 50,000 years ago), Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,500 years ago), Holocene (12,500 to 500 years ago) and Modern (Age of Sail and modern exploration). List entries are identified by region (in the case of genetic evidence spatial resolution is limited) or region, country or island, with the date of the first known or hypothesised modern human presence (or "settlement", although Paleolithic humans were not sedentary).

Human "settlement" does not necessarily have to be continuous; settled areas in some cases become depopulated due to environmental conditions, such as glacial periods or the Toba volcanic eruption.[1] Early Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa from as early as 270,000 years ago, although these early migrations may have died out and permanent Homo sapiens presence outside of Africa may not have been established until about 70–50,000 years ago.

Middle Paleolithic

Before Homo sapiens, Homo erectus had already spread throughout Africa and non-Arctic Eurasia by about one million years ago. The oldest known evidence for anatomically modern humans (as of 2017) are fossils found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, dated about 360,000 years old.[2]

Region Country Date (kya) Place Notes Ref(s)
Africa, North Africa Morocco 379-254 Jebel Irhoud Anatomically modern human remains of eight individuals dated 300,000 years old, making them the oldest known remains categorized as "modern" (as of 2018). [2]
Asia, West Asia Turkey 316–219 Neanderthal admixture Genetic evidence for early Homo sapiens admixture to Neanderthals in West Asia, discovered in 2017. [3]
Asia, Southeast Asia India 385–250 South India Quartzite tools excavated at Attirampakkam were dated back to 250,000-385,000 years old. [4]
Africa, Horn of Africa Ethiopia 200–190 Omo Kibish Formation The Omo remains of modern humans found in 1967 near the Ethiopian Kibish Mountains, dated stratigraphically to 195 ± 5 ka, may be related to Ledi-Geraru. [5]
Asia, West Asia Israel 195–177 Misliya Cave, Mount Carmel Fossil maxilla is apparently older than remains found at Skhyul and Qafzeh. Layers dating from between 250,000 and 140,000 years ago in the same cave contained tools of the Levallois type which could put the date of the first migration even earlier if the tools can be associated with the modern human jawbone finds.[6][7] [8]
Africa, Southern Africa South Africa 200–110 Klasies River Caves, population genetics Remains found in the Klasies River Caves in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa show signs of human hunting dated c. 125 ka. There is some debate as to whether these remains represent anatomically modern humans.

Evidence from population genetics suggests separation before 110 ka,[9] most likely between 130 and 200 ka.[10]
