Give thanks for the post...

Interesting article but I am afraid this Swede has it wrong. Several of his claims are seem to be eurocentric and while interesting they are flat wrong. Example european Neanderthal and sapiens did not share a hybrid gene pool between themselves but were separate distinct branches probably arrising from homo ergaster who was something like the early African versions of erectus. African Erectus was the first truly thinking homo having a larger brain than modern humans, tamed fire and was a world class traveller leaving Africa along the coast to europe and asia several times over 1000's of years. However everything is not totally clear yet but it for certain that homo sapiens arose in africa and left there as several erecti species had done earlier at different times. "By 1.9 million years ago, another lineage of the genus Homo emerged in Africa. This species was Homo ergaster. Traditionally, scientists have referred to this species as Homo erectus and linked this species name with a proliferation of populations across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Yet, since the first discoveries of Homo erectus, it had been noted that there were differences between the early populations of "Homo erectus" in Africa, and the later populations of Europe, Africa and Asia. Many researchers now separate the two into distinct species Homo ergaster for early African "Homo erectus", and Homo erectus for later populations mainly in Asia. Since modern humans share the same differences as H. ergaster with the Asian H. erectus, scientist consider H. ergaster as the probable ancestor of later Homo populations." .See: http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/a_tree.html
