I am trying to learn about paleogenetics, and even though I more or less understand what happened in Europe for the last say 10,000 years, I still do not understand well the issue of Behavioral modernity.
I have read for example the wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens#Behavioral_modernity) and it is not clear to me if Behavioral modernity happened in Africa before the Out of Africa expansion, or if it happened outside Africa and it flowed back into Africa.
I also do not understand what "basal" is, in relation to (some of the?) first Africans that left Africa, but do not have any Neanderthal autosome.
Can anybody give me some reference to understand how, when and where Homo Sapiens became behaviorally modern?
