African Exodus by Chris Stringer

Where and when we - HOMO SAPIENS - began our career is the most hotly contested issue in science. It has explosive implications for the way we view race. If - as some anthropologists claim - we developed separately on the main continents, then there were several distinct kinds of humans. But the best evidence is that we originated in Africa about 100, 000 years ago and rapidly colonized the world. This is an astonishing story and Stringer and McKie tell it brilliantly.
Chris Stringer is the head of the Human Origins Group at the Natural History Museum in London. In 1994 he provided the key interpretations of fossil remains of the largest early human ever found in Britain. Robin McKie is the Science Editor of The Observer.
