摘要

Recently,Liu et al.reported a mass collection of human teeth found in Fuyan cave in Hunan province of southern China,dating back to 120-80 thousand years age (kya) [1].Morphological measurement of these samples indicated that they can be unequivocally assigned to Modern Human (Homo sapiens).This great finding,as commented by Ewen Callaway,suggested that Modern Human had reached Asia between 80 and 120 kya [2].This early human trekked out of Africa suggested that remains from the Skhul and Qafzeh Caves in Israel may also be successful migrants out of Africa.Also,the solid evidence of Modern Human from Fuyan Cave conflicted with the time scale given by genetics which proposed that the entire genetic lineages of eastern Eurasians can only be traced back to 55-60 kya.To explain this inconsistency,R.Dennell drew a scenario about multiple-waves of modern human's migration into different region of Eurasia [3].
