Time and Place of Human Origins, the African Eve Hypothesis Examined through Modelling: Can High Schools Contribute?
Oxnard, Charles
Australian Science Teachers Journal, v40 n4 p11-19,53 Dec 1994
Studies of mitochondrial DNA imply that modern humans arose in Africa 150,000 years ago and spread throughout the world, replacing all prior human groups. But many paleontologists see continuity in human fossils on each continent and over a much longer time. Modeling may help test these alternatives. (Author/MKR)
