Anatomically Modern Humans - Early Modern Humans

Early Modern Humans

The Omo, Hertho, Skhul, and Jebel Qafzeh remains are sometimes referred to as "Early Modern Humans" because their skeletal remains exhibit a mix of archaic and modern traits. Skhul V, for example, has prominent brow ridges and a projecting face. However, the brain case of Skhul V is distinct from that of the Neanderthals and is similar to the brain case of modern humans.

In Europe, the early modern humans were the Cro-Magnon.

Famous quotes containing the words early, modern and/or humans:

    [My early stories] are the work of a living writer whom I know in a sense, but can never meet.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
    And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
    Before this strange disease of modern life,
    With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
    Its head o’ertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife—
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    To not be afraid in our world is the message that doesn’t derive from reason, but maybe from this mysterious capacity given to humans which we call—not without a little embarrassment—faith.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
