- The Late Upper Paleolithic Model, or Upper Paleolithic Revolution, refers to the idea that, though anatomically modern humans first appear around 150,000 years ago (as was once believed), they were not cognitively or behaviorally "modern" until around 50,000 years ago, leading to their expansion out of Africa and into Europe and Asia. [ 7][ 21][ 22] These authors note that traits used as a metric for behavioral modernity do not appear as a package until around 40–50,000 years ago.

Sep 29, 2017 · The Upper- or Late Palaeolithic industry (c. 50,000/40,000- c. 10,000 years ago) represented an explosion in tool diversity. Stone gave up its status as prime source material to stuff such as bone, antler, and ivory, which were shaped into intricate needles, points and burins (engravers/chisels with sharp, chiseled points or edges) – although ...

The Later Upper Paleolithic Model theorizes that modern human behavior arose through cognitive, genetic changes in Africa abruptly around 40,000–50,000 years ago around the time of the Out-of-Africa migration, prompting the movement of some modern humans out of Africa and across the world.
Aug 2, 2024 · The Middle Paleolithic, which was characterized by flake tools and the widespread use of fire, lasted from about 250,000 to 30,000 years ago. The Upper Paleolithic, which saw the emergence of more sophisticated tools, lasted from about 50,000–40,000 years ago until about 10,000 years ago.

The Late Upper Paleolithic—from 24/23,000 to 15/14,000 BP—is represented by various Epigravettian industries all over the East European Plain and a kind of “Epi-Aurignacian” in its southern parts.
During the late Upper Paleolithic (Latest Pleistocene) c. 18,000 BP, the Beringia land bridge between Asia and North America was blocked by ice, [13] which may have prevented early Paleo-Indians such as the Clovis culture from directly crossing Beringia to reach the Americas.
The Upper Paleolithic is divided by the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), from about 25 to 15 ka. The peopling of the Americas occurred during this time, with East and Central Asia populations reaching the Bering land bridge after about 35 ka, and expanding into the Americas by about 15 ka.
Jan 18, 2024 · The geographic expansion of Homo sapiens populations into southeastern Europe occurred by ∼47,000 years ago (∼47 ka), marked by Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) technology.
