The Out of Africa Hypothesis of Comparative Economic Development: Common Misconceptions
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Tidsskriftartikel › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
The importance of the prehistoric migration of anatomically modern humans from Africa for
comparative economic development has been the focus of a vibrant research agenda in the past
decade. This influential literature has attracted the attention of some scholars from other
disciplines, and in light of existing methodological gaps across fields, has perhaps
unsurprisingly generated some significant misconceptions. This article examines the critical
views expressed by some scholars from other disciplines, and establishes that they are based on
fundamental misunderstandings of the statistical methodology, the conceptual framework, and
the scope of the analysis that characterize this influential literature.
