目前的化石、遗传学和考古学数据表明，智人起源于中更新世晚期的非洲。到晚更新世末期，我们的物种分布在除南极洲以外的各大洲，为随后的全新世人口和文化变化奠定了基础。干预过程仍然存在激烈的争论，也是人类进化研究的一个关键主题。我们回顾了考古学，化石，环境和遗传数据，以评估目前的知识状态的智人的传播出非洲。新出现的扩散过程的图片表明动态的行为变异性，种群之间的复杂相互作用和复杂的遗传和文化遗产。这种进化和历史的复杂性对简单的叙述提出了挑战，并表明需要混合模型和明确假设的测试来理解智人向欧亚大陆的扩张。
Current fossil, genetic and archaeological data indicate that Homo sapiens originated in Africa in the late Middle Pleistocene. By the end of the Late Pleistocene our species was distributed across every continent except Antarctica, setting the foundations for the subsequent demographic and cultural changes of the Holocene. The intervening processes remain intensely debated and a key theme in hominin evolutionary studies. We review archaeological, fossil, environmental and genetic data to evaluate the current state of knowledge on the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa. The emerging picture of the dispersal process suggests dynamic behavioral variability, complex interactions between populations and an intricate genetic and cultural legacy. This evolutionary and historical complexity challenges simple narratives and suggests that hybrid models and the testing of explicit hypotheses are required to understand the expansion of Homo sapiens into Eurasia.
