From the [1]New York Times:
A team of geneticists believe they have shed light on many
aspects of how modern humans emigrated from Africa by analyzing the
DNA of the Orang Asli, the original inhabitants of Malaysia.
Because the Orang Asli appear to be directly descended from the
first emigrants from Africa, they have provided valuable new clues
about that momentous event in early human history.
The geneticists conclude that there was only one migration of
modern humans out of Africa - that it took a southern route to
India, Southeast Asia and Australasia, and consisted of a single
band of hunter-gatherers, probably just a few hundred people
strong.
