The "orthodox" Chinese position is that modern humans came from China.

I thought the orthodox Chinese position is multiregional or hybrid origin of modern mankind. In other words, Neanderthals contribute to Europeans and Peking Man contribute to East Asians.

And I am saying that the origin of this Chinese assertion, based on no evidence, is the superiority of the yellow race. By the way, it is demonstrably true that Europeans are not descendants of Neanderthals, just as it is true that the yellow races are not descendants of the Peking Man.

The Chinese will concur will a multi-regional approach primarily to separate Chinese humans from Africans and Europeans. :)
