“…The simulations indicate that the most likely origin for modern humans lies somewhere in (central) Africa, in line with what is deduced from the fossil record (e.g. [104]). However, East Asia also forms large and compact populated area, especially during warm periods, that would have been a second probable source for replacement sweeps.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…The overall morphological pattern in MSA North African faces suggests there was both regional continuity from the Early to Late Stone Age, as well as gene flow between H. sapiens groups living in other parts of Africa and the southwest Asia (Bergmann et al, 2022;Ferembach, 1976aFerembach, , 1976bHarvati & Hublin, 2012;Röding et al, 2022). These findings are consistent with the view that our species originated and diversified within subdivided populations that were connected by intermittent gene flow (Scerri et al, 2018;Stringer, 2016). The shared maxillary shape in MSA humans across Africa and the southwest Asia is likely a result of such gene flow.…”
