description: International symposium at the University of Tübingen, Germany, 8th-12th April 2001. This symposium explores the relationship between environmental change and the key events in the evolution and dispersal of the human clade, from its origin around 5-8 Myr to the expansion of Homo sapiens across the globe between 100 Kyr and 15 Kyr.
abstract: Despite the tremendous progress in palaeoanthropology during the last decades due to new fossil findings (e.g. Nariokotome, Dmanisi, Ceprano, Atapuerca, Zafarraya), artefacts (e.g. Schöningen) as well as innovative approaches (e.g. paleogenetics, chronological dating, 3D reconstruction) the reconstruction of the dispersal of the genus Homo and the speciation processes within this taxon remains a source of permanent controversies. The increasing trend to accept the Neandertal question as resolved based on the results of aDNA-studies - whether justified or not - does not simultaneously mean that interpreting the rest of the Middle and Late Pleistocene human evolution is simple. The inflationary naming of many new human species such as Homo ergaster, H. louisleakeyi, H. antecessor, H. helmei, respectively the reinterpretation of species like H. heidelbergensis and H. rhodesiensis conveys the opinion that species recognition is a playground for some palaeoanthropologists which are not only following different taxonomical methodologies [evolutionary taxonomy, phylogenetic systematics (or cladistics), numerical taxonomy] but - much more importantly - do not even have the same concept of speices in mind. At the most one, or perhaps even none, of the many evolutionary trees which are currently discussed reflects the actual historical-genetic evolutionary relationships in the mid-to-late Pleistocene; for this reason this paper focuses on the different evolutionary models of speciation and dispersal with regard to their objectivity, reliability and validity.
