Multiregional Evolution: A World-Wide Source for Modern Human Populations

  • Chapter
Origins of Anatomically Modern Humans

Part of the book series: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology ((IDCA))

Abstract

One of the great advances of twentieth-century biology has been the demonstration that all living people are extremely closely related (Lewontin 1984). Genetic research has provided what for some is the surprising result that our DNA similarities are far greater than the much more disparate anatomical variations of humanity might suggest. These variations, the object of systematic studies for over 150 years, involve both the visible external features of our bodies seen across the world, and their underlying skeletal structures. The detailing of this variation across the world, and for skeletal features over time as well, created a broad spectrum of theories about the human races — their relationships to each other and their origin. These genetic advances have rendered virtually all of them obsolete.
