	Lateline - 9/5/2001: Palaeontologist discusses Mungo man findings . Australian Broadcasting Corp
		CHRIS STRINGER: I think it's based on experience really in Europe where we have been trying to recover DNA from European fossils -- the Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnons and there we found that in most cases we failed to extract DNA which is really ancient DNA.
		CHRIS STRINGER: They're the procedures which have to be used in ancient DNA and I have used that too in work I have done with scientists at Oxford, my DNA has been tested and unfortunately even the best lab procedures in Oxford have inevitably had contamination.
		CHRIS STRINGER: Yes, I think what I would argue is that we originated in Africa between 100-200,000 years ago and we began to migrate from Africa, disperse from there about 100,000 years ago and arrived in Australia 60,000 years ago is perfectly feasible.

		CHRIS STRINGER: Well yes I come from the Natural History Museum where we have the remains of Piltdown man so we all have to be aware of that and remember that lesson.

	Science versus sanctity - theage.com.au
		Chris Stringer with a replica of the Cohuna skull, the original of which is in Aboriginal keeping.
		Stringer, an authority on human origins and noted for his work on the "out of Africa" theory of evolution, jumped in because he believes science is about to be "done over".
		What Stringer and others such as Cambridge University's Robert Foley fear is that once the skulls, leg bones, hair samples and teeth are gone (including about 450 Australian specimens), they will be lost to science because they will be either destroyed, buried or locked away by traditional communities.

	African Exodus
		However, Stringer and McKie quite successfully bring out some of the conclusions DNA appears to be making about our species, stressing both our uniform origins and the indications that racial characteristics are in fact a very recent feature to emerge as part of the development of Homo sapiens.
		In fact the attacks by the authors on racism (and to a lesser extent, sexism), and particularly the academic perpetrators of it, are undertaken with almost crusading zeal.
		Stringer and McKie dismiss the racist theories by thorough and effective presentation of the facts surrounding the myths.

	ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Wednesday's young guns hold Blackburn
		Stringer stepped in when Pressman was sensationally sent off inside a minute on the opening day of the season at Wolves and turned in an heroic performance that belied his age and inexperience as Wednesday salvaged a 1-1 draw.
		Blackburn should have been bombarding Stringer's goal but struggled to give Wednesday's defence any real problems, and Matt Jansen was reduced to launching a long range effort that flew high and wide as Rovers failed to make any substantial inroads.
		Stringer did not need to make his first important save until almost half an hour had gone when David Dunn's free kick came off Hamshaw and the already committed keeper prevented a goal with his legs.

	Amazon.com: African Exodus: The Origins of Modern Humanity: Books: Christopher Stringer,Robin McKie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Stringer, a paleonotologist, was one of the first--althought not the first as he claims-- to propose that every single person (outside of Africa) now alive is the descendant of a small group of humans who left Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago.
		Until the DNA discoveries, Stringer was pretty much out in the wilderness against the paleontological orthodoxy that the "races" of mankind had evolved from populations of Neanderthal and H. erectus.
		While Stringer and McKie describe how noses and skin color have been shaped in different regions, they deny that there are any cognitive differences and they withhold from readers the modern literature on brain size and IQ.

		There is some calcium present, the tiny blood vessel is clear, trabeculae of spongy bone are present in the jugular fossa, and there are fossilized Trichinella spiralis larvae throughout the mastoid process.
		These data prove conclusively that this is biologically a bone and not “worthless gravel” as determined by Dr. Chris Stringer and associates.
		However, he is apparently now arguing that his "finds" are actually something else, in which case I am more than happy to leave him to continue his own research into the constitution of the Swanscombe gravels.

		Professor Stringer has become one of the leading advocates of the theory that modern humans emerged fairly recently from Africa and replaced the existing types of Homo they found in the rest of the world.
		The `multiregional evolution' hypothesis argues that modern humans evolved in Europe, Asia and Africa over a period of at least a million years whereas the `Out of Africa' hypothesis contends that modern humans evolved in Africa 200 to 100 kyr ago.
		Professor Stringer is a world authority on this subject and will describe the new evidence which strengthens the case for humans evolving OUT of AFRICA.

		But Stringer said that, while sufferers of microcephaly have small brain cases, their jaws, chins and pelvis bones are of normal dimensions.
