Stringer, Chris Andrews, Peter (1988).
Stringer was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to the understanding of human evolution. He was elected a Member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019.
He won the 2008 Frink Medal of the Zoological Society of London and the Rivers Memorial Medal from the Royal Anthropological Institute in 2004 He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and Honorary Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He is co-director of the follow-up project "Pathways to Ancient Britain". This consortium reconstructed and studied the episodic pattern of human colonisation of Britain during the Pleistocene. He also directed the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project which ran for about 10 years from 2001. In the last decade he has proposed a more complex version of events within Africa, which he has termed ″multiregional African origin″. However, recent genetic data show that the replacement process did include some interbreeding. He always considered that some interbreeding between the different groups could have occurred, but thought this would have been trivial in the big picture. Stringer is one of the leading proponents of the recent African origin hypothesis or ″Out of Africa″ theory, which hypothesizes that modern humans originated in Africa over 100,000 years ago and replaced, in some way, the world's archaic humans, such as Homo floresiensis and Neanderthals, after migrating within and then out of Africa to the non-African world within the last 50,000 to 100,000 years.
