Global Dispersions of Humans (ARCA2636)   During pre-history
humans colonized every landmass other than Antarctica.
Archaeological and genetic evidence shows multiple expansions of
hominids out of Africa over the last two million years, with
humans spreading across the globe in the final migration lasting
more than 100,000 years. This dispersion is the foundation of
modern physical and cultural variation and is a significant
process in studies of human evolution. In this unit the
evidences for and consequences of out-of-Africa dispersals are
examined.  Our courses that offer this unit of study  Further
