could we have some hard data? which "most anthropologiest" Is
this sort of like the "moral majority" which represents "most"
americans? I have been pretty sure on my personal beliefs
that much of our order evolved in africa and in parts
of southern asia.

it depends, i guess, upon what one would call a common
ancestor, and how far back one is willing to go
in search of such. Could we not argue that
every placental mammal has some common ancestor. I find
it stretching it, though, when one leaves our order when
talking about a "common ancestor".
