A controversial theory contends that all modern humans share a single racial stock and that modern humankind emerged out of Africa less than one hundred thousand years ago and replaced all other human populations that had walked the earth.

Since this book was first published in 2005 there have been exciting new developments in the story of ape and human evolution, and the authors take account of them in this revised edition. The big gap in the fossil record in Africa is beginning to be filled with the discovery of several new species of apes in Kenya and Ethiopia that date from ten to nine million years ago. There are new discoveries of Australopithecus, updates on the dating of hominin sites, results of new DNA analyses, and much more.

Homo Britannicus tells the epic history of life in Britain, from man's very first footsteps to the present day. Drawing on all the latest evidence and techniques of investigation, Chris Stringer describes times when Britain was so tropical that men lived alongside hippos and sabre tooth tiger, times so cold people shared this land with reindeer and mammoth, and times colder still when men were forced to flee altogether.

In this groundbreaking and engaging work of science, world-renowned paleoanthropologist Chris Stringer sets out a new theory of humanity's origin, challenging both the multiregionalists and his own "out of Africa" theory, which maintains that humans emerged rapidly in one small part of Africa and then spread to replace all other humans within and outside the continent. Stringer's new theory, based on archeological and genetic evidence, holds that distinct humans coexisted and competed across the African continent - exchanging genes, tools, and behavioral strategies.

The book travels through time to reveal which human species lived in Britain during multiple waves of occupation. Drawing on a wealth of dramatic new evidence from excavation sites, it describes who they were, what their habitats were like, which animals shared their landscape, and what they were capable of doing, from the controlled use of fire to specialized hunting. It shows how humans have changed, evolved, and migrated, adapting to dramatically changing climate and landscapes. The authors describe the discoveries, the key fossil specimens, and the science behind recent remarkable findings.

2006Christopher Stringer is an advocate of the "replacement hypothesis" that suggests that modern humans are not descended from the Neanderthals - who were the first extinct human relatives to be discovered - and their Homo erectus contemporaries. Stringer argues that Homo sapiens are directly related to a different population of beings that followed the Neanderthals, migrating from Africa about 100,000 years ago. He has proposed a more complex version of events within Africa, which he has termed "multiregional African origin."
Quotations: "I am continuing collaborations with both journalists and other scientists in further writing projects. I will also continue to edit scientific books such as conference proceedings."
Chris Stringer is a member of the Primate Society, Quaternary Research Association, International Association for Human Palaeontology and American Philosophical Society.
