The 34 pages that link to Recent African origin of modern humans, each with the reason it gives.

• PaleoanthropologyCompared with: It is a major explanatory model tested against fossil, archaeological, and genetic evidence.

• Peking ManCompared with: Peking Man once figured in debates over whether modern humans evolved independently in Asia.

• Robert BroomCompared with: Broom’s work supported Africa’s deep importance in human ancestry, though his fossils predated modern-human origin debates.

• ZhoukoudianCompared with: Zhoukoudian’s fossils informed older models of regional human evolution, distinct from modern-human origins.

• Evolutionary anthropologyCompared with: It is the leading alternative to a predominantly multiregional account of modern human origins.

• Neanderthal genome projectCompared with: Neanderthal ancestry added interbreeding to a model once framed mainly as replacement.

• Franz WeidenreichCompared with: This model challenges the substantial regional continuity central to Weidenreich’s proposal.

• Hominin phylogenyCompared with: It offers a competing account of the geographic pattern behind Homo sapiens origins.

• PolygenismCompared with: It explains modern human origins through shared ancestry rather than independent racial beginnings.

• Arthur KeithCompared with: African fossil evidence undermined Keith’s preference for a European center of human origins.

• Davidson BlackCompared with: Peking Man became central to debates over whether human origins were African or centered in Asia.

• Multiregional origin of modern humansCompared with: It became the principal alternative to multiregional explanations of modern human origins.

• Early modern humanCompared with: It captures the broad dispersal pattern but must accommodate evidence of archaic-human admixture.
