Human-#evolution story rewritten by new data and computing power

Humans did not emerge from a single region of #Africa, suggests a study. Rather, our ancestors moved and intermingled for millennia.

"The study contributes more evidence to the idea that there is “no single #birthplace in Africa, and that #human evolution is a process with very deep African roots,” says Eleanor Scerri, an evolutionary archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute of #Geoanthropology."
