Thanks for posting. However, unless I am misunderstanding the "out of Africa" anthropologists and their fellow travelers, Peking Man and other Homo erecti contributed NOTHING to modern humans, as every Homo sapiens ancestor came out of Africa around 200k years ago.

While Milton Wolpoff at UMich and other regionalists maintain that these pre-humans DID contribute, the OOA ideologues think Peking Man was a dead end (even though they have some anatomical traits shared by modern Asians).

Am I missing something here?

Worth a look.

This would probably be a dead end for Peking Man. He's probably closer to a 800k age.

“Out of Africa” is an invention of the black lunatic Left in the 1970s and 1980s, which seeks to delegitimize ANY influence from Europe or Asia (which ever increasing evidence shows really happened to populate the Americas). After my alma mater formally changed the Anthropology Department to the Department of Feminist Anthropology, fired all the male professors, and replaced them with nasty, hairy, badly dressed, radical fems, I stopped giving to the alumni fund.
