First draft of a complete rewrite

Hi all,

First of all: excellent initiative to start this article! In my opinion it is an extremely important subject. I have spent almost 2 weeks reading all the references in the original article and finding new credible sources from top journals and researchers working in the field. I have kept all the references in the original article and also the original content/facts as much as possible, except where the associated citations were not credible (e.g. there was reference to a newspaper article which was claiming 37,000 BP for the skeletal remains, but this newspaper story seemed to be claiming too much too early, and I could not find any associated journal/conference scientific publication). But I have kept some of the old text commented out until we find credible references - so when you view the latest source text of the article you will see some commented out text.

The version I have uploaded is only a first draft; it would be great if we can get it into GA quality. And I think that with just a bit more work we will get there.
