Our species is an African one: Africa is where we first evolved, and where we have spent the majority of our time on Earth.
_____ (Q) What set this in motion is uncertain, but we think it has something to do with major climatic shifts that were happening around that time—a sudden cooling in the Earth’s climate driven by the onset of one of the worst parts of the last Ice Age.
_____ (R) According to the genetic and paleontological record, we only started to leave Africa between 60,000 and 70,000 years ago.
_____ (S) Although earlier fossils may be found over the coming years, this is our best understanding of when and approximately where we originated.
_____ (T) This cold snap would have made life difficult for our African ancestors, and the genetic evidence points to a sharp reduction in population size around this time, in fact, to fewer than 10,000.
_____ (U) The earliest fossils of recognizably modern Homo sapiens appear in the fossil record at Omo Kibish in Ethiopia, around 200,000 years ago.
