English: Chris Stringers' hypothesis of the family tree of genus Homo, published in Stringer, C. (2012). "What makes a modern human". Nature485 (7396): 33–35. doi:10.1038/485033a.
"Homo floresiensis originated in an unknown location from unknown ancestors and reached remote parts of Indonesia."
"Homo erectus spread from Africa to western Asia, then east Asia and Indonesia. Its presence in Europe is uncertain, but it gave rise to Homo antecessor, found in Spain."
"Homo heidelbergensis originated from Homo erectus in an unknown location and dispersed across Africa, southern Asia and southern Europe."
"Homo sapiens spread from Africa to western Asia and then to Europe and southern Asia, eventually reaching Australia and the Americas."
"After early modern humans left Africa around 60,000 years ago (top right), they spread across the globe and interbred with other descendants of Homo heidelbergensis," namely Neanderthals, Denisovans, and unknown archaic African hominins.
