Perhaps humans departing Africa encountered resident Neanderthals in the Middle East.

This is a joke, right?

No. There are caves in the ME where Neanderthal remains are find both earlier and later than Homo Sapiens remains, showing that they had overlapping habitation in the area, where Africa meets Europe.

More of a joke than you'd think at first glance.

What's the basic problem with the idea of monkeys, apes, or proto-humans trying to down from trees and starting to live on the African savannas on a permanent basis (the whole basic starting point of all ideas about human evolution)?

I mean, what's the most major difference between human infants and the young of all prey animals? That's right: the baby deer have the sense to keep quiet until they're old enough to run, full speed. What's gonna happen the first time a gang of 'proto-humans' starts walking around on the savannas and some human infant starts screaming his head off because something displeases him, with 500 and 1000 lb predators walking around all over the place? Can you say "Dinner Bell"??
