SOME READINGS ILLUSTRATING THE
CONTROVERSIAL NATURE OF VIEWS REGARDING "MODERN" HUMAN ORIGINS, THE HISTORY
OF THE "RACE" CONCEPT AND EVOLUTIONARY THEORY (biased toward "multiregional
views, simply because Olson Book is so biased toward the "Out-of Africa
Model" and he is incorrect in saying the issue is settled). There
are sources placing human variation and the Human Genome project in perspective
as well.
