DNA Study Yields Clues on First Migration of Early Humans
By NICHOLAS WADE
"By studying the DNA of an ancient people in Malaysia, a team of geneticists says it has illuminated many aspects of how modern humans migrated from Africa.
The geneticists say there was only one migration of modern humans out of Africa; that it took a southern route to India, Southeast Asia and Australia; and that it consisted of a single band of hunter-gatherers, probably just a few hundred people strong."
Of course, there's a counter salvo by the archeologists, but in general, so far, I think the genticists are winning.
