They argue that the original "human revolution" theory reflects a profound Eurocentric bias. Recent archaeological evidence, they argue, proves that humans evolving in Africa some 300,000 or even 400,000 years ago were already becoming cognitively and behaviourally "modern". These features include blade and microlithic technology, bone tools, increased geographic range, specialized hunting, the use of aquatic resources, long-distance trade, systematic processing and use of pigment, and art and decoration. These items do not occur suddenly together as predicted by the "human revolution" model, but at sites that are widely separated in space and time. This suggests a gradual assembling of the package of modern human behaviours in Africa, and its later export to other regions of the Old World. </p><p>Between these extremes is the view—currently supported by archaeologists Chris Henshilwood,<sup id="cite_ref-Henshilwood_2002_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Henshilwood_2002-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Curtis_Marean" title="Curtis Marean">Curtis Marean</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Henshilwood_Marean_2003_3-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Henshilwood_Marean_2003-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ian Watts<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and others—that there was indeed some kind of "human revolution" but that it occurred in Africa and spanned tens of thousands of years.

These archaeologists point in particular to the relatively explosive emergence of ochre crayons and shell necklaces, apparently used for cosmetic purposes. These archaeologists see symbolic organisation of human social life as the key transition in modern human evolution. Recently discovered at sites such as Blombos Cave and Pinnacle Point, South Africa, pierced shells, pigments and other striking signs of personal ornamentation have been dated within a time-window of 70,000–160,000 years ago in the African Middle Stone Age, suggesting that the emergence of <i>Homo sapiens</i> coincided, after all, with the transition to modern cognition and behaviour.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While viewing the emergence of language as a "revolutionary" development, this school of thought generally attributes it to cumulative social, cognitive and cultural evolutionary processes as opposed to a single genetic mutation.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A further view, taken by archaeologists such as Francesco d'Errico<sup id="cite_ref-D'Errico_2003_28-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-D'Errico_2003-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and João Zilhão,<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> is a multi-species perspective arguing that evidence for <a href="/wiki/Symbolic_culture" title="Symbolic culture">symbolic culture</a>, in the form of utilised pigments and pierced shells, are also found in Neanderthal sites, independently of any "modern" human influence. </p><p>Cultural evolutionary models may also shed light on why although evidence of behavioral modernity exists before 50,000 years ago, it is not expressed consistently until that point.
