Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anatomically modern humans appeared around 300, 000 years ago in Africa, and 70, 000 years ago, gradually supplanted the “archaic” human varieties. Non-modern varieties of Homo are certain to have survived until after 30, 000 years ago, and perhaps until as recently as 12, 000 years ago.
Detailed explanation-2: -One model postulates that habitat degradation and fragmentation occurred in the Neanderthal territory long before the arrival of modern humans, and that it led to the decimation and eventual disappearance of Neanderthal populations.
