Chris Stringer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chris Stringer (born 1947) is a British anthropologist and one of the leading proponents of the recent single-origin hypothesis or "Out of Africa" theory, which hypothesizes that modern humans originated in Africa over 100,000 years ago and replaced the world's archaic human species, such as Homo erectus and Neanderthals, after migrating from Africa to the non-African world within the last 50,000 to 100,000 years. He is a researcher in the area of hominins in the Natural History Museum's Department of Paleontology.

He has three children, Katy, Paul and Thomas, and lives in Sussex.
