Abstract
<p>There is no consensus on the term “human”: All hominins? The genus Homo? Anatomically modern-like humans only? None of them. In New Paradigm:1) “Human” or Homo sapiens (incl. initial Neanderthals and initial Denisovans) originated from the Levantine macroevolution ~140 ka (thousand years) ago. In other words, the Last Common Ancestor of them was NOT before 500 ka. 2) Pre-140 ka Homo was an unknown extinct taxon Proto-Human (ProtoHomo). The evidence presented here confirms that the glacial maximum ~140 ka ago largely wiped them out (incl. Pseudo-Sapiens, Pseudo-Neanderthals, Pseudo-Denisovans, and Homo luzonensis except the last Javanese H. erectus).3) The relationships shown here between global overheatings and anatomical progressions (and vice versa) reveal that DNA (genetic program) has driven fluctuating human evolution (ProgRetrogProg or RetrogProgRetrogProg evolution). This fluctuation implies the existence of two opposing forces within the DNA and their unending struggle for dominance. The evidence also suggests that behavioral and cognitive fluctuations, too, may have been DNA-driven.</p>
