The Achilles' heel of the orient-origin theory is that human fossil records do not exist on the mainland from 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.

Actually, the problem is in the DNA evidence of a spread from Africa -- basically, no "unexplainable" introductions of non-African lines. Other accounts of this find talk about a "low" forehead and pronounced brow ridges. The "orthodox" Chinese position is that modern humans came from China. This seems to be a fix so that the find fits the "theory".

[shuckmaster]

Presuming the early news on the China find is correct, the time frame now reads:

180kya South Africa
130kya Ethiopia
110kya Israel
100kya China
60kya Australia
50kya Europe

Clearly a coastal species that eventually followed rivers inland much later.

The default Chinese position is that the yellow race is so obviously superior that it couldn’t have anything in common with the “lesser races” on the other continents. I expect Chinese “scientists” to continue asserting conclusions that cannot be corroborated by scientists around the world. In fact, I suspect they won’t let foreign scientists have unrestricted access to their “evidence”. What Chinese “scientists” are doing is secular religion (asserting yellow superiority), not science.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Ancient skull dug up in Henan may bury 'Out of Africa' theory

The theory takes it on the Chin?

Certainly gives a different slant to it at any rate.

"It's just been discovered," said Liu Wu , director at the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology. "We guess it could lead to some important evidence. But so far it is mostly a guess."

Wu Who? True, Liu. Anything beyond a guess would be a bonehead move if the Scientific Method is applied, by definition.
