The origin of modern humans is the hot topic in human
prehistory...AfricanExodus clarifies the main
issues and puts the debate into historical context...Stringer and McKie have forged a superb book that skilfully melds personal experience and an unfolding
scientific drama.
It makes compelling
reading.' Roger Lewin, New Scientist
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.
