Dispersed Out of Africa Earlier Than Thought

A staff member of mine was from Kenya. I remember him saying "in Africa, like is hard." I suppose that could explain it all.

This is the kind of thing I frequently point out to people in debates about global warming. How often do we see news items where scientists are surprised at some new discovery that “turns everything we thought we knew on its head?” Therefore, how can there be such a things as “settled” science, or a “consensus?”

Just out of curiosity, how did the early “beachcomber” humans get from “Africa”to the Arabia Peninsula? Once there, how did they survive the journey?

Following the Nile makes a lot more sense. Just the small matter of food & water, you know.

Probably got one look at Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and said “We’re outta here!”

I am suspicious of the out of Africa theories, They are too convenient for the left-politically correct.

There are other theories such as SE Asia also being a place for human origins. My opinion is these theories are based on thin evidence and are perpetrated to get Federale government grants

I’ll let the “scientists” play around twisting their mustaches and batting each other’s arses.

Just takes a child looking at Google Earth to tell that there was once just one big Super Continent. Something happended and it was broken up and spread out.

Anything in our history books that might explain any of what is clearly seen?

Can you blame them for leaving, considering the Blood Diamonds, Ebola, AIDS, Colonialism, corrupt government, Islamic Slavery, and God knows what else, was on its way there?
