"The evolution of human populations in Africa was multi-regional. Our ancestry was multi-ethnic. And the evolution of our material culture was, well, multi-cultural," said Dr. Scerri. "We need to look at all regions of Africa to understand human evolution."
Can anybody understand what the hell that means????????
It sounds like bad rap.
A common ancestor of homo sapiens split off into different regions, and developed different attributes. Later, these different 'tribes' came together and formed 'homo sapiens' not from a single source but from several unique but compatible sources.
That's why - from the article:

The genes concur. "It is difficult to reconcile the genetic patterns we see in living Africans, and in the DNA extracted from the bones of Africans who lived over the last 10,000 years, with there being one ancestral human population," said Prof. Mark Thomas, geneticist at University College London and co-author on the study. "We see indications of reduced connectivity very deep in the past, some very old genetic lineages, and levels of overall diversity that a single population would struggle to maintain."
The genetics matches this multiple lineage theory.
So the social concept of 'race' is automatically flawed, as we are all African mutts.
