No, the southern constellations are not more modern than the northern constellations.

The division between southern and northern constellations is based on the hemisphere from which they are seen, not on their age or historical significance.
Why do constellations look different in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere?
Constellations appear different in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the Earth's spherical shape and its position relative to the stars. As observers move from one hemisphere to the other, they see different portions of the night sky, with some constellations being visible only in one hemisphere. For example, the Southern Cross is prominent in the southern hemisphere but not visible in the north. Additionally, the rotation of the Earth causes different stars to rise and set, altering the observable constellations.
