Evolution of Hominids: Origins in Africa and Migration Patterns

[QUOTE="fresh_42, post: 5769058, member: 572553"] At least with the homo neanderthalensis we share some genes and I think with another one, too. So it's not as separated as one might think. The out of Africa hypothesis in several migration waves is the mainstream hypothesis. There have been some doubts recently published, see [URL]http://www.sciencealert.com/oldest-hominins-could-have-lived-in-europe-instead-of-africa-claims-new-study[/URL] and the links at the end of the article. In addition there is a human genetic bottleneck assumed (70,000 ~ 80,000), so that we all trace back to a few hundred or thousand individuals. AFAIK for migration processes female [URL="https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/when-did-mitochondria-evolve/"]mitochondria[/URL]l DNA is considered. There's also a urban legend that 25% of European population share genes with Dschingis Khan, but I have no idea whether there is really something to it or not. [/QUOTE]
