Another nail in the coffin of the multiple-origins theory?

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Dec 1996

Wills C

Abstract excerpt

While mitochondrial sequences can be used to probe the time and place of the mitochondrial 'Eve,' nuclear genes can be used to ask a slightly different question: when did humans (members of the genus Homo) or their hominid precursors (the hominids) first leave Africa and fan out over Asia and Europe? If they did so recently, it seems likely that there was a recent African origin of our species, Homo sapiens,...
