Journey of Mankind

Write a 3 page essay on the following.

There are currently 2 basic theories on the ancestors of modern man

(Homo sapiens): the Eve (Out of Africa or Replacement) Theory and the Multiregional

Variation (Candelabra or Continuity) Theory.

A. Define/describe in as much detail as possible what each theory is. This

description should include the data used to support each position as well as a

critique of the theory.

B. How does the information discussed in A relate to discussions of classifying

species? Support your argument. To do so you must "define" species first.

C. What role does Neanderthal play in our ancestry?

D. What is the role of migration on human variability?

E. Which theory is the most credible? Why?

F. Does the information in “Journey of Mankind” aid in your understanding

of the origins of our most ancestors? If so, how?
