  • Resumen
    • No one now doubts that Africa was the cradle of humanity--the idea goes back to Darwin after all--but early in the 20th century most researchers believed humans evolved in Eurasia. The Taung child was the first fossil to challenge that orthodoxy. Here, Barras reports that recently, some prominent researchers have come round to the idea that hominins may have left their African cradle much earlier than they thought and undergone critical evolutionary transitions further north. There are even whispers that one of the most important evolutionary events of all may have occurred under Eurasian rather than African skies. And the catalyst behind this radical rethink is the pesky little hobbit.
