With so much invested in the “out of Africa” scenario, too little thought has been put to the reality that homo erectus left Africa a very long time ago and even evolved into the “hobbits” in Southeast Asia. Why wouldn’t other groups of early human ancestors have evolved into something resembling us. Maybe the first Homo Sapiens “returned to Africa” rather than originated there?

Absolutely... But it’s heresy to even think about open dialog about this possibility. Yet the Amazon was a huge sustainable agricultural operation manipulated by man before man was in the new world. My great uncle followed a man made road from the coast of Brazil through the Andes to Lima Peru that still “doesn’t exist”. It just ain’t adding up. But there are more and more willing to reassess these finds with objectivity. :)

The “Hobbit” Was Tiny Already By 700,000 Years Ago

Europe Was The Birthplace Of Mankind, Not Africa, Scientists Find
