This interpretation would be consistent with a southern route of dispersal of modern humans from the Horn of Africa (24); the latter, however, will remain speculative until other Middle Paleolithic sites in the Indian subcontinent and Arabian Peninsula are excavated and dated (my emphasis)."<br /><br />I interpret it as a migration of "AMH" out of Africa before the Toba eruption, followed by a migration of Homo sapiens sapiens into South Asia from East Asia, Southeast Asia or South Siberia after the Toba eruption. It means there's no genetic continuity between pre-Toba and post-Toba occupants of South India. Since Australian Mungo man was re-dated to 40K, there's no evidence that Australia had been peopled prior to that. Otherwise, one could argue that the "southern route" was the one "AMH," which, IMO, don't have anything to do with Homo sapiens sapiens, took out of Africa all the way to Australia. Most likely, the migration of AMH out of Africa was stopped by Toba in South India. However, this has nothing to do with Homo sapiens sapiens who are entirely unaffected by Toba, which is the present-day consensus.German Dziebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703679732205862495noreply@blogger.com
