How is...

“Darwin predicted, based on homologies with African apes, that human ancestors arose in Africa. That prediction has been supported by fossil and genetic evidence (Ingman et al. 2000).”

A discovery after the fact?

Darwin was arguing "common descent" ~ surprised he didn't argue that people and apes both originated at Gibraltar (for reasons of British nationalist passion).

Now, predict when the next major human/hominid speciation event will occur and how many genes will it involve.
