The idea of modern homosapiens evolving in multiple locations is not so
farfetched. The arguement is that proto-humans spread out across the
Old World, and local variations developed. However, instead of these
local groups diverging to form seperate species, most of the trait diffused
throughout the entire species. This is a perfectly legitimate occurance
in evolutionary genetics. Those traits which did not diffuse so widely
form the basis for racial grouping. Of course, such groupings might be
completely meaningless.....
