The problems of modern human origins have received much attention recently: data from molecular genetics, physical anthropology and archaeology have been linked by some authors to formulate a coherent argument for ‘Out of Africa’. This paper makes a critical evaluation of the archaeological record, raising issues concerning the nature of the evidence, and emphasizing the need to consider how the different datasets are related. In relation to East Asian evidence it suggests that chronology can ultimately be used for ‘scheduling’ the events associated with the origins of a ‘modern’ behavioural complex which seems to involve new classificatory systems and changes in social organization
