  Only for this week! Last week's New Scientist contained an article that had hom. sap. being of eastern european origin rather than african. There was quite a lot of controversy and conjecture though. (IANAA) The archaeological record is sketchy at best for our prehistory and huge amounts of conjecture is based on very fragmentary evidence. Entire (sub) species are known only from a single bone or a few teeth. Anyway - cheers to Morocco - cradle of humanity, for now 8)

    It wasn't a homo sapien in Europe, it was a much earlier hominid, ~8 million years earlier.
