The Ādam Paradox Hypothesis 119
4. APH — Adam Paradox Hypothesis (continued)
🔎 Scientific verdict: Strongest explanatory framework. Still emerging in
mainstream academia, but aligns with cutting-edge genetics and archaeology
— ahead of consensus, not outside it.
Global Landscape Summary
Human Revolution: Largely abandoned (seen as flawed).
Demography: Popular in Harvard & mainstream journals, but partial.
Gradualism: Respected in Europe (CNRS, Bordeaux), Smithsonian-friendly,
but incomplete.
The Adam Paradox Hypothesis: Most testable, unifying, and predictive —
not yet mainstream, but positioned to become the paradigm as genomic
evidence matures.
