Two Theories
how they got around the world? |
|
Definition
1. Candelabra- Homo Erectus left Africa each group evolved separately and one group could have been modern human(does not account for everything)
2. Noah’s Ark Model- One mass move out of Africa- small group (homo sapien sapien ) because they were so stable population entire planet came from this small group. |
