That is the dual wonder instilled by the articles in the journal Nature about the extraordinary findings of several groups of scientists on human evolution: first, that at last we can say with almost total certainty that the ancestors of us all — Native Americans, Australian Aborigines, African Pygmies, Mongolian Sherpas, Cree Indians — descend from a single migration out of Africa 50,000 to 80,000 years ago.
