Hi again, Steve,

As promised in my earlier email, I am sending along the relevant material for updating a couple of my 
previously posted working papers (on both the departmental and CDE working paper respositories).

The first paper that needs updating is departmental working paper no. 2010-05 "The "Out of Africa" 
Hypothesis, Human Genetic Diversity, and Comparative Economic Development" (as well as its CDE 
working paper counterpart). In this case, the corresponding IDEAS/RePEc handles need not be updated 
since none of the particulars of the paper (such as author names and affiliations, abstract, JEL codes, 
keywords, etc.) have changed. Thus, all that is required is a replacement of the PDF of the paper with 
the attached version on the relevant server.

The second paper that needs updating is departmental working paper no. 2011-10 "The Effect of 
Interventions to Reduce Fertility on Economic Growth" (as well as its CDE working paper counterpart). In 
this case, however, the corresponding IDEAS/RePEc handles will need to be updated since the paper has 
been retitled and has a new abstract. I therefore attach both a PDF of the paper and text file containing 
the relevant information for updating the IDEAS/RePEc handles.

I think that's about it for now. Please let me know if you run into any issues with the attached files or the 
updating process in general.

Cheers,
-- Q.
