Human Evolution Out of Africa: The Role of Refugia and Climate Change
Abstract
Ancient Human Migration: During the past 100,000 years or so, modern humans migrated from Africa into Eurasia, completely replacing existing populations of Neandertals by about 20,000 years ago. This occurred as the climate cooled toward a glacial maximum. Stewart and Stringer (p. 1317 ) review some of the recent evidence for how this demographic transition occurred. Data from ancient genomes of Neandertals and Denisovans coupled with our improved understanding of the role of refugia in driving evolution during the Ice Ages suggest that such refugia were important in the pace and pattern of change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
