Interesting article; more and more the old theory of everything “Out of Africa” seems to get weaker with each new discovery. I know Leakey would hate it, but the newer technology for dating and the new discoveries seem to point to the fact that human beings were much more widespread and adaptable than originally thought.
And then they were wiped out 74,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have a heck of an eye. To me they’d be “rocks.”
