Human expansion

Start with

1.Out of Africa again ... and again
2.The Multiregional Evolution of Humans
3.The Recent African Genesis of Humans

Part 1.

Create an artifact to illustrate human evolution. This artifact should clearly demonstrate what theory you believe(out of africa, multiregionalism, hybrid theory) . Included should be a clear understanding of the process of evolution, the timeline that this process occurred on, the evidence to support your argument and a description of how this is represented in the modern population(lactase persistence, human skin color, language development, brain development, abstract/cultural development).
