Robert J. Richards: Neanderthals Need Not Apply. The New York Times, 17 sierpnia 1997. [dostęp 2009-01-17]. Cytat: Christopher Stringer, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, with the help of Robin McKie, a science writer, argues for a theory that has come to be called out of Africa; and he opposes it to the contemporary multiregionalist view,[...] The out-of-Africa theorists argue that the far-flung groups of Homo erectus did not evolve into the modern races, but simply went extinct in various regions of the world, except in Africa. The Neanderthals, too, eventually succumbed, about 30,000 years ago. In Africa, however, the evolutionary pot kept brewing, according to Stringer. There, about 200,000 years ago, Homo erectus began evolving into "late archaic sapiens." [...] Stringer marshals considerable paleontological, anthropological and genetic evidence for his position -- for instance, the genetic differences within each race are much larger than the average differences among the races, suggesting very close biological relationship. The interlocking patterns of the different kinds of evidence that he dexterously deploys also give powerful support to the theory, if not the complete support his intermittent exultations would indicate. There is, for example, fair evidence, which Stringer himself mentions, that interbreeding occurred between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons (more recent Homo sapiens), which would argue a virtuous intermediate position.

Janet Fletcher: African Exodus: the Origins of Modern Humanity. assemblage The Sheffield Graduate Journal of Archaeology, 1996. [dostęp 2009-01-17]. Cytat: African Exodus provides a vehicle for Stringer and McKie to continue some of the themes seen in In Search of the Neanderthals (Chris Stringer and Clive Gamble, Thames and Hudson, 1993) and to exercise Stringer's interpretation of the evolutionary origins of anatomically modern humans. [...] African Exodus is an excellent read for scientist and layperson alike. Enjoy. (ang.).

Dorota Romanowska: Koniec ewolucji?. Wprost, 7/2001 (951). [dostęp 2009-01-15]. Cytat: Naukowcy uważają, że nauka i technologia sterują procesem dalszej ewolucji człowieka. Pytanie tylko, czy rzeczywiście istota, jaką za ich pomocą próbujemy wykreować, będzie kimś, kim chcielibyśmy być. Ludzie są genetycznie bardzo do siebie podobni. Różnica między DNA twoim i przechodnia mijanego w dowolnym miejscu świata wynosi zaledwie 0,1 proc. "Jeżeli od dwóch goryli pobierzemy próbki mitochondrialnego DNA, a następnie porównamy je z próbkami pobranymi od Eskimosa i Australijczyka, odkryjemy coś zdumiewającego: pod względem genetycznym próbki pochodzące od ludzi są sobie bliższe niż próbki pochodzące od goryli" - piszą Christopher Stringer i Robin McKie w książce "Afrykański exodus - pochodzenie człowieka współczesnego".
