Out of Africa is a myth that portrays people as one homogeneous kind.

“Who ever said there was only 1 exodus/migration out of Africa?”

Yeah that's the impression this article seems to suggest. I've never heard that one. The standard theory is that there were multiple migrations out of Africa (into southwest Asia) coinciding with the waxing and waning of the ice sheets. One time the migration stayed.

You’re conflating the writing of ancient history with the living of ancient history.

good-faith mistake is the best way to characterize it

Which is also a good candidate for those of bad faith to fraudulently promote.

Both the Masai and the Mandinka (aka Mandingos) are known for being tall, with the women being over 6 feet and the men close to 7.

I've seen the Masai...up close and personal...in Tanzania and Kenya.I certainly ain't no scientist but I'd classify them as "people"..."homo sapiens".

No, I’m using the writing of ancient history as evidence of man’s presence in ancient history.

The absence of written history does not equate to the absence of people.

The Out of Africa story is falling apart, at least in the sense that it has recently been understood.

Multiregional evolution with frequent hybridization will turn out to be much closer to the truth.

Secular scientists want nothing to do with the Biblical account of Creation; for them, the best they’ve come up with here of late is here and there admitting that “intelligent design” may be at work. However, they still hold to the absolute fallacy of evolution like a piece of sunken ship and that the earth is millions and the universe billions of years old.

If that were true, the planets in our Solar System would have flung from their orbits, long frozen and dead along with Earth in the absence of the sun from having gone supernova. Galaxies that old would have vastly degraded structure, some swallowed by their own central black holes, our Milky Way included.

Holding to the Biblical account of Creation—Almighty God being that Creator, creation research scientists have calculated, as well as some secular scientists, that the Earth is likely 6,000 to 7,000 years old, and according to the Word as told in the Book of Revelation will exist an additional 1,000 years before God destroys it with fire and creates a new Heaven and Earth.

Our universe, our galaxy, our Earth, the Solar System, the stars of the heavens and all other space-related phenomena “declare His Glory.”

Holding to the Word of God, entering into evidence a “fossilized modern human finger” found at the Al Wusta excavation site, the bone structure would be only several thousand years old, possibly younger with testing.

I always liked the Biblical, “Let us take this matter UNORGANIZED...” (my emphasis) because it allowed for a lot of speculation and un/educated guesses as to the actual age of mankind.

Yes, I believe in Adam and Eve. And no, I’m not here to debate the facts with anyone because I feel that in due time, the Truth will be known to all Mankind. ;o]

“But man as best confirmed by the age of recorded history, has been around no longer than about 6000 years.”

Then who built Gobekli Tepe?

The absence of written history is strong evidence of the absence of people.

who built Gobekli Tepe?

Almost certainly the nephilim (giants) who roamed the earth in 4000 BC.

When I first began studying archaeology and anthropology, the ‘experts’ stated that humans arrived in North America about 10,000 years ago. I just smiled and did not argue with the liberal creepozoid ‘teacher.’ Just because we did not have concrete evidence did not mean we could not use common sense. It was obvious to me that humans populated North America much earlier, and we just had to find the evidence. The surface of the planet hides, changes, and destroys stuff every day. Patience will reveal much eventually.

“Almost certainly the nephilim (giants) who roamed the earth in 4000 BC. “

Well, I just don’t have an answer for that. You win.

Who decided that the Bible is a modern, western, science textbook?

..who almost certainly along with Gobekli Tepe, built Stonehenge, Easter Island, etc.

Food for thought and further "digging" maybe, and don't forget the Bible, an amazing detailed account of the ancient times some of which is otherwise unrecorded.
