I agree that H.s. could spread after evolving from one group of H.e. I just don't think that Homo erectus in different isolated groups could have evolved into the same species everywhere. I have read about that theory in several places, for instance, in The Real Eve; I'll have to get youthe name of the author. I should probably add that I am not a scientific professional; i'm a criminal defense lawyer, but I often wish I had stayed with paleontology instead. If I've mistaken what I read I hope someone will email me and let me know. --- Bill Chaisson/Deirdre Cunningham <chaisson@netacc.net> wrote: > >I'm not convinced that it's racist, but I still don't > agree > >with it. -And my grandfather was from Alabama, so we > could > >be cousins!
