If humans came out of Africa and MET Neanderthals, then Neanderthals were ALREADY there. Does that mean not all humans have African heritage??
More and more research with less and less clarity 🤨
The current mainstream belief is that the Neanderthals represented a much earlier wave of migration out of Africa. A completing theory is that they were in fact native to Europe.

The whole “Out of Africa” theory is currently out of favor.
