Study suggests anatomically modern humans may have been in eastern Asia as much as 100,000 years ago.

"Study suggests..." Love that line.
News flash: "anatomically modern humans" describes almost any upright primate. They did proliferate the planet until...ta-da, one of them said: "Pass the potatoes, fool, before you eat them all."

There is no such thing as "human evolution". For any hominid to have evolved into a human, that hominid would have needed to:

• Lose his fur coat while ice ages were going on.
• Lose almost all of his sense of smell while trying to make it as a land prey animal (fatal by itself).
• Lose almost all of its night vision in an age when night was the only time of day to be had.

You say that doesn't sound like a formula for success?? Humans and hominids don't even come from the same place.

The only relationship which exists between humans and hominids is the same relationship which exists between Fords and Toyotas, i.e. similar design.
