>>Please excuse the error. I did not mean that there were
no identical , or nearly identical genes, in H. Erectus and
H. Sapiens. I was misunderstood. As H. Sapiens came out
of Africa and replaced H. Erectus there was NO
INTERBREEDING and hence no gene exchange. This comes
from the work on Mitochondrial DNA by Wilson (deceased)
and Rebecca Caan.
