There are two models in modern anthropology which try to explain the origins of modern humans. They are replacement models and multiregional models. They are both based on evidence given by modern genetics and deep investigations of genes. Multiregionalists recognize that our ancestors first appeared in Africa and then expatiate upon different territories. However, some new studies of genes found evidence of humans moving from Asia to Africa. This fact restarted a discussion between two main models.
Discuss the evidence for the “replacement model” and the “multiregional model” for the origins of modern humans.
