Ukuzalwa kwesintu kudlulela eMorocco

Ngesonto eledlule, umagazini ohlonishwayo Nature yenze umphakathi waba ngomunye wemivubukulo ebaluleke kakhulu emashumini eminyaka adlule, isethi entsha yemivubukulo ekhulisa iminyaka yezinhlobo zabantu kanjalo futhi idlulisa imvelaphi yayo isuka e-Ethiopia iye eMorocco.

Ngokwalokhu kutholakala okusha futhi osekuqinisekisiwe, i- Homo Sapiens, ummeleli wokuqala wezinhlobo zethu, ngabe usakazeke usuka entshonalanga yeMorocco kulo lonke izwekazi lase-Afrika eminyakeni engama-300.000 eyedlule.

Ukusuka e-Ethiopia kuya eMorocco eminyakeni eyi-100.000 eyedlule

Mhlawumbe abaningi benu abazi, kepha mina bengingumfundi womlando, futhi kunento eyodwa engicacelayo: umlando wokuziphendukela kwemvelo komuntu uyindaba eqhubeka njalo, futhi akuyona umdlalo olula wamagama kepha phansi lapho, ngaphansi kwezinyawo zethu nasezindaweni eziningi emhlabeni jikelele, kuningi okusamele kudalulwe. Ubufakazi obuhle balokhu okwakamuva ukutholakala eyenziwe eMorocco eguqula konke ebesikwazi kuze kube manje mayelana nemvelaphi yezindawo nokulandelana kwezinhlobo zabantu "zibheke phansi".

UJebel irhoud Yindawo etholakala entshonalanga yeMorocco yanamuhla; Lapho izinsalela ezindala kunazo zonke ezake zabonwa emhlabeni zitholakale futhi zabhalwa izinsuku ngokuqiniseka okuphelele ngendlela ye-thermoluminescence. UHomo Sapiens.

Ukutholwa kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba izinsalela zineminyaka engama-300.000 ubudala, okungukuthi, zingaphezulu kweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ubudala kunemivubukulo etholakala eKibish (e-Ethiopia), kanti futhi iminyaka iqinisekisiwe ngeminyaka eyi-195.000.

Ekuholeni kwalokhu kumbiwa eJebel Irhoud, eMorocco, ngu-Abdelouahed Ben-Ncer, ovela ku-National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage eRabat, kanye no-paleoanthropologist uJean-Jacques Hublin, waseMax Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology edolobheni laseLeipzig osho ukubaluleka okukhulu kwalokhu okutholakele ngezitatimende ezishiya kungabazeki ukuthi umlando jikelele, futhi kulokhu, umlando wemvelaphi yabantu ikakhulukazi, usabhalwa:

Sasikholelwa ukuthi ukuzalwa kwesintu kwakuseMpumalanga Afrika nokuthi sasineminyaka engaba ngu-200.000 300.000 ubudala, kodwa imininingwane yethu emisha yembula ukuthi iHomo Sapiens yasakazeka kulo lonke izwekazi lase-Afrika cishe eminyakeni engama-XNUMX edlule., ukhombise isazi se-paleoanthropologist uJean-Jacques Hublin.

UJebel Irhoud, isizinda esisha soBuntu, okwamanje

Ngempela, okubaluleke kakhulu ekutholeni kulele ekutheni, ngokuphambene nalokho obekukholelwa kuze kube manje, uhlobo lwesintu lwalungeke luvele eMpumalanga Afrika eminyakeni engama-200.000 eyedlule futhi, ukusuka lapho, lwaluyohlakazeka kulo lonke izwekazi lase-Afrika okokuqala, nakomhlaba wonke kamuva. Ungenzi. El Homo Sapiens, okungenani kulokho esikwaziyo kuze kube manje, ngabe wavela entshonalanga yeMorocco eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ngaphambili, eqala lapho ngohambo lwakhe olubanzi okwe-Afrika kanye nomhlaba wonke.

IJebel Irhoud Yimvelaphi entsha yezinhlobo zabantu, isiza esidume isigamu sekhulu leminyaka futhi esifaka izinsalela zabantu ezahlukahlukene (amazinyo, izingebhezi eziphelele namanye amathambo) okungabantu okungenani abahlanu. Izici zobuso namazinyo ezanamuhla, yize zisalokhu zinezinto zasendulo nezikhudlwana zomthamo we-cranial. Lezi zimo zikhomba ukuthi sisekuqaleni komlando wezinhlobo zethu, yize ukuma kobuchopho kuzoqhubeka nokuvela kwayo kulo lonke uzalo Homo Sapiens, ngokusho kwezitatimende zikaJean-Jacques Hublin. Ngamanye amagama, izinsalela ezitholakala kule sayithi zihambelana nabantu abashintshe ngokuphelele asebevele bengabozalo lukaHomo Sapiens, okungukuthi, sebengabantu.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, u-Abdelouahed Ben-Ncer ubefuna ukugqamisa ukuthi isikhathi eside, ingxenye esenyakatho ye-Afrika ibinganakwa maqondana nemvelaphi yezinhlobo zabantu, kodwa-ke, ukutholwa okumangazayo kwesiza saseJebel Irhoud kuveza lokhu ubuhlobo obuseduze uMaghreb ayenabo nezwekazi lonke phakathi nokuzalwa kukaHomo Sapiens.
