Is the basis for the “Out of Africa” theory around because they really haven’t found anything anywhere else?
Once the Arctic ice all melts next year and we can see what is up there maybe they’ll find all kinds of things.
Just cause they found stuff in Africa doesn’t mean there isn’t other evidence all over the world.
And to really remove any doubt, why don’t they just ask HT? She would know.
That’s correct. And because there are some nicely preserved strata that are close to the surface, the whole out-of-Africa bias amounts to the punchline of that old joke, the guy lost his glasses inside the dark restaurant, but he’s looking around outside because the light’s better.

We can just ask the nuclear sub captain parked under that ice.
I believe there were some interesting finds of homo sapiens about 32,000 years old near a river outlet in Russia by the Arctic Ocean. There were also especially fine cave art finds in France of the same age. There seems to have been a relatively mild spell in the Ice Age before 3 major downturn events in the period between 20,000 and 30,000.
