Everyone outside Africa are more closer related to themselves that they are to anyone in Africa.

Bucky Fuller vindicated?
He maintained for years that man originated in southeast Asia.

One of the problems that I have had with the Out Of Africa theory is the statistical distribution of remnant cultures: IE Negritos in Asia, Bushmen, and the Egypto-Hametic Language. If you plot them on a map it seems that things flow into Africa rather than out.

Yes—he’s been a voice in the wilderness on this one. Basically, he follows the thoughts of the U of Penn’s late, great Carleton Coon on the multiregional hypothesis. It always made so much sense to me (and I think to blam as well).
My daughter at U Mich will be taking an anthro course that Wolpoff’s teaching in the fall.

If you plot them on a map it seems that things flow into Africa rather than out." The idea is not unique. Some think we came out of Africa, made some changes and went back. The counter argument is that the most diverse genes are in Africa because we originated there. IMO, it's much more complicated than that.

Race and Human Evolution. I have that book. It's a good read. Wolpoff explains the riddle of the Neanderthal - Modern Human DNA.

It always made so much sense to me (and I think to blam as well). My evolution prof was a follower of Coon, and I have almost all of his books. Some things still seem to make sense to me in that approach. The DNA seems to be headed in a different direction so far.

Cool!
