<span>If each of the pairs of
chromosomes was heterozygous (what gives you the highest potential
number of different gametes), then the number of possible gametes
increases from 4 to 8 for a diploid organism. To figure out how many
are possible, raise the number of homologous chromsomes (2 for a diploid
organism) to the power of the number of chromosomes. So if you have
two different chromosomes (A and B), raise 2 to the 2nd power (or
multiply 2 x 2) and you have 4. If you have chromosomes A, B, and C,
then you have 2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
To show possible combinations, AaBb gives you AB, Ab, aB, or ab. AaBbCc
gives possible gametes of ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc. </span>
A mutation could do that.
I've read the story back a couple months ago
Actually, there are many archeologists and anthropologists disagree with dr. Thorne's view. Basically, Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was, in fact, Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very different from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are against him)
I hope I helped :)
