Lisa you ignorant slut!
Now, I feel better.
Mark Stoneking was part of the group which gave us mtDNA "studies" that "proved" (IOW, the conclusions matched the original assumptions) that all living humans descend from a single small group that left Africa at last within the past 200,000 years. Now he's part of the group which claims that humans had no clothes for a million years. Gee, and it's warm in Africa. I'll bet they have no axe to grind... ;')Why Humans and Their Fur Parted WaysDr. Stoneking, together with Dr. Ralf Kittler and Dr. Manfred Kayser, report in today's issue of Current Biology that they compared the DNA of human head and body lice from around the world, as well as chimpanzee lice as a point of evolutionary comparison. From study of the DNA differences, they find that the human body louse indeed evolved from the louse, as expected, but that this event took place surprisingly recently, sometime between 42,000 and 72,000 years ago. Humans must have been wearing clothes at least since this time.
