   Today we have DNA to look at, not just old bones.

   Thing is, there does not appear to BE a 'standard
   human' - we're mixes of mixes of mixes of everything
   over much of Africa, then beyond, then back, over and
   over and over. 'Race' is mostly just a proportion of
   SOME genes that affect outwards appearances.

   So, next time somebody asks who the first human was -
   there WASN'T one. At best it's "still in progress".
