Human Y-chromosomal variation in European populations (2004, background): “…suggested using archaeological evidence (Stringer and Andrews 1988; Stringer and McKie 1996; Stringer 2003), while a recent discovery of Homo sapiens fossils in Ethiopia dating to 160 000 years ago is a further argument in favor of a recent African origin of our species (White et al. 2003).”
Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “…confirmed in the form of the Omo Kibish 1 skeleton (Ethiopia), now more soundly dated to ~195 ka (McDougall et al., 2005; Aubert et al., 2012; Brown et al., 2012), and three individuals, also from Ethiopia, discovered at Herto and dated to ~160 ka (White et al., 2003; McCarthy and Lucas, 2014).”
Coastal South Africa and the Coevolution of the Modern Human Lineage and the Coastal Adaptation (2011, background): “1007/978-1-4419-8219-3_18, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 The fossil record indicates that Homo sapiens appears sometime around 195–160 ka (White et al. 2003; Clark et al. 2003; McDougall et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2007).”
Evolution of the Size and Functional Areas of the Human Brain (2006, background): “This suggests language has origins that are substantially older than the appearance of anatomically modern H. sapiens, which date to perhaps ∼160,000 years ago (White et al. 2003).”
