Yukon fossils represent a pivotal moment in evolution

[Minimalist]

For the earliest non-African HE, can we construct a convincing statistical or ecological narrative about why its discovery outside of Africa but not inside Africa really represent the true distribution?

This is what the argument is going to be about for the next 40 years. I don't expect to live to see the resolution of it but that will not stop the debate from progressing. Recall that the geneticists claim that the Toba eruption provides a genetic bottleneck for HSS ( although I confess to having doubts about the whole Toba scenario.)



P.s. That would be one hell of a trilobite.
