Late Pleistocene human population bottlenecks, volcanic winter, and differentiation of modern humans.

Journal of human evolution - 1 Jun 1998

Ambrose S H

Abstract excerpt

The "Weak Garden of Eden" model for the origin and dispersal of modern humans (Harpending et al., 1993) posits that modern humans spread into separate regions from a restricted source, around 100 ka (thousand years ago), then passed through population bottlenecks. Around 50 ka, dramatic growth occurred within dispersed populations that were genetically isolated from each other. Population growth began earliest in...
