Chris Stringer

Christopher B. Stringer, better known as Chris Stringer, (born 1947) is a British anthropologist and one of the leading proponents of the recent single-origin hypothesis or "Out of Africa" theory, which hypothesizes that modern humans originated in Africa over 100,000 years ago and replaced the world's archaic human species, such as Homo erectus and Neanderthals, after migrating within and then out of Africa to the non-African world within the last 50,000 to 100,000 years. He is a Research Leader in Human Origins at the Natural History Museum. He studied anthropology at University College London^[1] and holds a PhD in Anatomical Science and a DSc in Anatomical Science both from Bristol University.^[2] He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society.

He has three children and lives in Sussex.
