The theory of an African genesis for modern
humanity is one of the most controversial in science.
It is based on a revolution in the history and anthropology of early humans, and in this fundamentally
important book the theory's most forceful advocate
- Dr Chris Stringer of London's Natural History Museum - explains, with Robin McKie, the evidence for his new view of our species' origins.
