middle paleolithic
The Middle Paleolithic is a period of human history, typically dated between 300,000 to 30,000 years ago, that is marked by the prevalence of Neanderthals and the emergence of early Homo sapiens. It is during the Middle Paleolithic era that significant advances in tool technology, including the widespread usage of the Levallois technique, are observed. Additionally, there is evidence of more complex social behaviors, like elaborate burials and possible habitational structures during this period. This era falls between the Early Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic periods.

Middle Paleolithic
The Middle Paleolithic is the second subdivision of the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age as it is understood in Europe, Africa and Asia. The term Middle Stone Age is used as an equivalent or a synonym for the Middle Paleolithic in African archeology. The Middle Paleolithic and the Middle Stone Age broadly spanned from 300,000 to 30,000 years ago. There are considerable dating differences between regions. The Middle Paleolithic/Middle Stone Age was succeeded by the Upper Paleolithic subdivision which first began between 50,000 and 40,000 years ago. During this time period Homo neanderthalensis thrived in Europe between 300,000 and 30,000 years ago, and the earliest anatomically modern humans appeared around 195,000 years ago. Phylogenetic separation of modern humans dates to this period, mitochondrial Eve to roughly 150,000 years ago, Y-chromosomal Adam to roughly 350,000 years ago; see multiregional hypothesis. Additionally, according to the Out of Africa Hypothesis, modern humans began migrating out of Africa during the Middle Stone Age/Middle Paleolithic around 100,000 or 70,000 years ago and began to replace earlier pre-existent Homo species such as the Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
