Default Out of Africa

Some further evidence for the "out of africa" theory.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...an-origin.html

Not surprising really, as for the same species to arise through some multi-regional mutations seems highly unlikely. With a knowledge of how evolution proceeds, it just didn't seem right.

This leaves an interesting concept of homo sapiens being the last hominid on the planet, after all the other species of hominid have become extinct. Ethnic cleansing perhaps?

We're number one!

I think Mel Brooks put it well, as the 2000-Year-Old Man, when asked about lyrics of the first national anthem:

"Let 'em all go to hell/ Except Cave 76".
