Knowledge of the timing and distribution of the human lineage is critical for developing and testing evolutionary hypotheses. Unfortunately, many existing chronologies are based on the dating of materials thought to be stratigraphically associated with the fossil, rather than the fossil itself. Significant, recent advances in dating methods allow for the accurate non-destructive direct dating of human remains. This project offers to establish a reliable and consistent chronology for modern human occurrences. This proposal is significant in addressing fundamental problems in our understanding of modern human expansion, by the application of newly-developed techniques that will allow for the reliable direct dating of key modern human fossils.

人类谱系的时间和分布的知识对于发展和测试进化假说至关重要。不幸的是，许多现存的年表是基于被认为与化石地层相关的材料的年代测定，而不是化石本身。测年方法的最新重大进展允许对人类遗骸进行准确的非破坏性直接测年。该项目旨在为现代人类事件建立一个可靠和一致的年表。这一建议对于解决我们理解现代人类扩张的基本问题具有重要意义，通过应用新开发的技术，可以对关键的现代人类化石进行可靠的直接测年。
