The best book on the topic is _The Search for Eve_.  It covers all the
arguments on the subject very well.  BTW, the main complaint is that using
The Eve Theory, all other lines of humans around the world at that time 
are considered to have gone extinct.  This doesn't do well with the 'bone'
scientists since they see a definite pattern with the fossil bones through
out that period and later on as to inheritance of certain characteristics.
