Homo Sapiens Sapiens (HSS) colonised Europe far later than they did
India (40KYA *VS* 70 KYA). The HSS left Africa, via the Arabian
Peninsula. Does this imply that Europeans are genetically closer to
Africans than the Indians?
Early Humans Settled India Before Europe, Study Suggests

Modern humans migrated out of Africa and into India much earlier than
once believed, driving older hominids in present-day India to
extinction and creating some of the earliest art and architecture, a
new study suggests.
The research places modern humans in India tens of thousands of years
before their arrival in Europe.

* New Primate Fossils Support "Out of Africa" Theory
University of Cambridge researchers Michael Petraglia and Hannah James
developed the new theory after analyzing decades' worth of existing
fieldwork in India. They outline their research in the journal Current
Anthropology.
"He's putting all the pieces together, which no one has done before,"
Sheela Athreya, an anthropologist at Texas A&M University, said of
Petraglia.
Modern humans arrived in Europe around 40,000 years ago, leaving
behind cave paintings, jewelry, and evidence that they drove the
Neandertals to extinction.
Petraglia and James argue that similar events took place in India when
modern humans arrived there about 70,000 years ago.
The Indian subcontinent was once home to Homo heidelbergensis, a
hominid species that left Africa about 800,000 years ago, Petraglia
explained.
"I realized that, my god, modern humans might have wiped out Homo
heidelbergensis in India," he said. "Modern humans may have been
responsible for wiping out all sorts of ancestors around the world."
"Our model of India is talking about that entire wave of dispersal,"
he added. "[T]hat's a huge implication for paleoanthropology and human
evolution."
A New Model
Petraglia and James reached their conclusions by pulling together
fossils, artifacts, and genetic data.
The evidence points to an early human migration through the Middle
East and into India, arriving in Australia by 45,000 to 60,000 years
ago, they say. |

Dear Tangent:
The middle east is an isthmus between three continents. Due to it's
location, humans have continually migrated through that area carrying
the genetic makeup of the inhabitants of all three continients. We
might imagine the DNA continually migrating in "waves" from the middle
east through the milenia. There is little doubt that all modern
humanity evolved out of Africa; which means, we all descended from
black people.
Here is a list of some of the extinct humans:

Are there any other pictures of the extinct species listed, or even artist's
renditions? |

Mentioned in my essay on extinct humans are:
Ramapithecus
Australopithecus and Paranthropus
Homo Erectus
NEANDERTHAL
Homo Habilus
Cro-Magnon
All these types of individuals are only evident by their fossil
remains. I'm sure if you google them by images you can find artistic
renditions based on these fossils.
