Human Fossil Record and Classification

Emphasis on the most important and current research and published finds of human and related primate fossils. With history of the multiregional perspective, in which human adaptation and ancestry is not centered in any one place, with free gene flow between populations acted upon by natural selection. With a synthesis of multiregionalism with the recent out of Africa hypothesis and human genetics including the MGD method. Revisions already made and further revisions needed in the recent out of Africa hypothesis are discussed, including revisions made which were anticipated by neglected professional authors such as C. Loring Brace and Jacques Ruffie. Principles of inter and intra specific gene flow and HGT as related to human and great ape adaptations discussed. Advances in other fields such as mammalogy, biology, paleontology, MGD genetics and medicine which have not been generally integrated into Western paleoanthropology are discussed. Internet search engines and interactive social media were used in addition to library research to seek out more relevant references.
