Modern human origins in Australasia: replacement or evolution? A Kramer. American J Physical Anthropology 1991, 86(4): 455-73
The controversies surrounding the origins of modern humans have spawned 2 competing hypotheses:
1) Replacement: modern Homo sapiens evolved first in Africa, as late as 140 ka, and subsequently inhabited the balance of the Old World.
2) Evolution: modern humans evolved principally from local populations of archaic hominids indigenous to the major regions of the Old World.
The hominid mandibular remains (ca. 1 Ma) from Sangiran, central Java, Indonesia, were studied to test these hypotheses. Non-metric comparisons were made between these fossils and aboriginal H. sapiens from Africa and Australia.
The Replacement model would be supported by a unique Afro-Australian grouping while Multiregional Evolution would be suggested by a Sangiran-Australasian group which would exclude the modern Africans.
These data support the Multiregional Evolution hypothesis in that a plurality (8) of the 17 non-metric features link Sangiran to modern Australians, while only 3 exclusively group the humans from Africa and Australia.
These results are suggestive of morphological continuity, which implies the presence of a genetic continuum in Australasia dating back at least 1 million years.
