 | Out of Africa by Christopher Stringer, Robin McKie
Determined to help readers understand what it means to be human, the authors (among them the scientist responsible for the single origin theory ) make a strong case that humanity has descended from a single racial stock shared by all. Arguing from the entire range of scientific evidence, the authors assert, contra The Bell Curve and other instances of contemporary America's preoccupation with race, that racial similarity, not racial difference, is the real story behind humanity's evolution.
