Abstract

... and humans out of Africa The 'out of Africa' debate on human origins has enlivened palaeoanthropology for many years. Genetic analyses tended to support a single origin for modern humans in Africa, but measurements of anatomy have produced mixed results. Now that dichotomy is resolved: a new analysis of a large database of skull measurements, informed by advances in ancient demography of anatomically modern humans made possible by large genetic datasets, unequivocally supports a single African origin.
