Neanderthal interbreeding
The Neanderthal interbreeding article is based on a scientifical study. The result from the article suggests that the human being shares up to 4% of it’s genome with Neanderthals. The study supports the theory that living beings for the most part trace their ancestry to a small population of Africans who later spread out across the world-‘’Out of Afric’’. There has therefore been an interbreeding between neantherthals and moderna humans in the past.The results show that the genomes of non-Africans (from Europe, China and New Guinea) are closer to the Neanderthal sequence than are those from Africa. The most likely explanation, say the researchers, is that there was limited mating, or "gene flow", between Neanderthals and the ancestors of present-day Eurasians.
This must have taken place just as people were leaving Africa, while they were still part of one pioneering population. Another version allows for a degree of assimilation, or absorption, of other human types into the Homo sapiens gene pool. The latest research supports the Out of
Africa theory, but it falsifies the most conservative version of events

Homo floriensis (hobbit)
A few years ago, remains of a different type of homonoid was found on the island Flores, near Indonesia: Homo floriensis. It was suggested that this homonoid had evolved from Homo Erectus that had also been found in Indonesia at this time (about 1 million BP). However, the homo floriensis has only been found on that specific island and the island can only be reached through traveling on the water.

the founding of homo floriensis supports the multi regional theory in a way, since homo floriensis were found 12.000 years ago it suggests that homo erectus never actually were extinct.

Home Denisovan
The Homo Denisovan was interbreeding with the other human species about 45000 years ago, when the Neanderthal and the Homo Sapiens Modern were walking our planet. What this suggests, is that the Denisovans were interbreading with the Homo Sapiens Modern and the Neanderthal, which would support the theory ”Multi Regional”, since the theory sais that the different species around the world were interbreading with eachothers and at last evolved into the Homo Sapiens Modern.

1: Based on the evidence available in the 1860s on which continent did our ancestors originate? Why? 1856, because this was the first skull found.

2: Based on the evidence available from 1890s our ancestors originated from Indonesia, because the skulls found there were older than the ones found in Germany.

3:  Based on the evidence available from 1930s our ancestors originated from South Africa, because the skulls found there were older than the ones found in Germany and Indonesia.

4: Other ways of identifying the older skulls are by observing the height and size of the skull. The smaller the skull the older it is. The higher they were the more modern they were.

The 2 Theories

One of our theories is that the Homo Sapien Modern evolved in Africa. One of the reasons is because during that specific period when the Homo Sapiens Modern was evolving, the Ice Age might have taken place on the planet, which means that temperatures were very low at the south and north hemispheres, and animals were forced to live near the equator where it was warmer. Another reason is that in the middle there are lots of big herds of animals, which the Humans could hunt for meat. The third reason is that the untouched rainforest was covering a large area in the middle of Africa, and the rainforest has a good overflow and supply of water etc.

This means that the Homo Sapiens Modern later migrated from Africa to Europe and replaced the other Human species.

Our other theory is that after Homo sapiens archaic had migrated into Europe, it evolved into Homo sapiens modern and Homo sapiens Neanderthal. Since there was an ice age during that time, we believe that both Homo sapiens Neanderthal and Homo sapiens modern thrived in this environment. But, when the ice age ended the environment was no longer beneficial for the Neanderthal and this might be a reason for their extinction. However, the Homo sapiens modern might have adapted to the warmer environment in a better way and thereby kept on living and dispersing.
