If these humans introduced the Upper Paleolithic culture to other continents, then what was the culture like and why did technologically and typologically dissimilar Upper Paleolithic industries emerge in vastly remote regions of Eurasia nearly simultaneously between 50 and 40 ka BP? Moreover, these regions were separated by vast areas where Middle Paleolithic cultures continued to exist. One of the main questions is: if H. sapiens dispersed exclusively from Africa, then what were the relationships of humans of the anatomically modern type with the autochthonous populations, which populated these regions for many tens or even hundreds of thousands of years? What was the material and spiritual culture of the modern humans which evolved in Africa and in what way was this culture superior to the culture of predecessors? If anatomically modern humans evolved 200–150 ka BP solely in East Africa, then why did they start migrating to Eurasia only 80–60 ka BP?
Based on the variability in modern DNA, the proponents of the Resent Single Origin hypothesis suggest that during 80–60 ka BP, a rapid population growth took place in Africa, and Homo sapiens “split out” to populate Eurasia as a result of a drastic population increase and lack of food supplies.
With all the respect to the genetic research data, it is impossible to speak about the possible demographic “explosion” during the Paleolithic having no valid archaeological and anthropological grounds. Notably, during the Paleolithic with the life span around 25 years, younger generations had to live without parents before reaching maturity. That caused a high infant and juvenile death rate. Thus, there are no reasons to speak about the demographic explosion. But even if we agree with the idea that rapid population growth took place in Africa 80–60 ka BP, stimulating a search for the new food resources and colonizing new territories, the question remains: why did people take such long eastward migration routes, which brought them to Australia? According to the archaeological data, anatomically modern humans colonized Australia 50 or possibly 60 thousand years ago, while reaching South Africa only 40 ka ago, Central and Western Africa less than 30 ka ago, and North Africa about 50 ka ago. How can one explain that modern humans reached Australia fi rst and then settled the rest of Africa?
Certain proponents of Out Of Africa hypothesis argued that anatomically modern humans migrated from Africa to Australia. How can it be that H. sapiens left Africa and for 5 - 10 thousand years managed to cover more than 10 thousand km having left no traces of their activity along their route? As for the authochthonous populations of South, East and Southeast Asia within the chronological range of 80 – 30 ka BP no drastic changes or principal innovations have been observed in their culture, which might evidence intrusion of human groups with a different industry If the autochthonous population was replaced by Homo sapiens, a complete substitution of archaeological industry and culture would have taken place. However, no substantial cultural changes are observed at Paleolithic sites in East Asia.
