Re: Where did Modern Man Evolve?
by dwnny1

Hey Arkady -

The DNA info I read also indicates that Neanderthal and Cromagnon did not interbreed.

In terms of the "facial features" of Euro Homo and Asian Home - one of the articles in this particular series claims that the facial features are evolved in the "local environment".

William Amos of the University of Cambridge indicated climate conditions can lead to changes in skull features. “In very cold climates you tend to generate a slightly thicker brow ridge" for example.

According to John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, “There are differences in the skull between populations, including their variability, but it is mostly due to very recent effects and not the origin of modern humans.”
