The symposium will explore the archaeological, fossil and genetic data that suggest that the emergence of our species occurred within a set of subdivided populations located across Africa, rather than within a small and isolated East African population. The event will therefore consider the complexity of our origins and will provide a context for evaluating competing models within an interdisciplinary context invoking structured populations, which affect how data are interpreted.
