The lure of seafood may explain why some human beings first left Africa, according to a genetic analysis published Friday, the London Daily Telegraph reports. The international study is based on DNA evidence that early humans spread across the Red Sea from the Horn of Africa, along the coast of the Indian Ocean toward the Pacific over a few thousand years. It suggests the first wave probably included fewer than 600 women, the mothers of all non-Africans alive today, whose ancestors split off from the rest near the Persian Gulf.
