Abstract

Our original claim, based on three independent numerical dating methods, of an age of ~185,000 years for the Misliya-1 modern human hemi-maxilla from Mount Carmel, Israel, is little affected by discounting uranium-series dating of adhering crusts. It confirms a much earlier out-of-Africa expansion than previously suggested by the considerably younger (90,000 to 120,000 years) Skhul/Qafzeh hominins.

摘要

我们最初的主张是，基于三种独立的年代测定方法，以色列卡梅尔山出土的米斯利雅 1 号现代人上颌骨的年代约为 18.5 万年，这个结论基本不受对附壳铀系测年的修正影响。这一结论比此前认为的更为古老，表明人类在非洲以外地区的扩张时间要早得多，此前在斯虎尔和卡夫泽发现的人类化石年代为 9 万至 12 万年。
