Evolution of Man Not From Today’s Ape, European Origin Proposed
Dr Alex Herdiecka of the National Museum Washington told the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Cincinnati that man originated in Europe about 400 000 years ago not in Asia. He said early humans were cousins to modern man and likely emerged from a single double molecular state. He noted a transition period, traces of men near the dawn of the 400 000 to 500 000 year era in Europe, and earlier primitive stone tools implying earlier human activity.
