V antropologických kruzích dnes převažují dvě základní teorie o zrodu moderního člověka. Tou první je hypotéza „africké kolébky“, podle níž se dnešní lidé vyvinuli z primitivní hominidní rasy, která před asi sedmdesáti tisíci lety začala ze své africké kolébky osídlovat ostatní kontinenty. V Evropě a Asii vytlačili tito pralidé násilným konfliktem a vyšší plodností původní neandrtálce.

Concerning the genesis of modern humanity, there are two primary theories that receive credence in anthropological circles. One is the “Out of Africa” hypothesis, which argues that today’s humans are the evolved descendants of a primitive race of hominids that, 70,000 years ago, departed its homeland in Africa and spread across the globe. Upon entering Asia and Europe, these archaic humans displaced the indigenous Neanderthals through violent conflict and higher birthrates. They then adapted to their environments and gradually morphed into today’s human races through a process called localized evolution.
