01/28/2008: "Chinese argue for multiregional human origins"

The well-preserved skull was found in the central Chinese province of Henan, and Chinese scientists say it could disprove the widely-held theory that Homo sapiens originated in Africa.

The majority of Chinese scientists share the multiregional theory of human origin, which says that humans evolved separately in different regions.

The opposite theory, the Out-of-Africa model, says that Homo sapiens originated in Africa, and that some prehistoric humans left the continent about 60,000 years ago. This theory is supported by the small number of older human fossils found in other regions as compared to on the African continent.

[ This could be interesting. Fucking Asian racists. We bomb them next -- oh wait, they're strong. Hmm. ]

Well, two issues: 1) the formation of races is BECAUSE of parallel evolution of humans in geographically separated regions. I think its rather absurd to say that humans do not have a common ancestor. 2) You'll find the Chinese don't like to have too many discussions about the red and blond haired Tocharian mummies in western China, so I tend to be dubious of what comes out of Chinese academia.
