Someday, some discovery outside of Africa and the Levant will turn up human remains much older than any ever found in African and the Levant, and it start the chicken vs egg question - was human migration at the FURTHEST reaches back, out of, or INTO Africa and the Levant.

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

We know for a fact the entire human race nearly died out, at one point pinching to maybe more more than 10,000 individuals.

The out of Africa theory only proves that all currently living humans are descendants of a common ancestry that exited Africa at a particular time... it doesn’t say Humans never left Africa prior, only that if they did, none of those lineages survived to current day.

My guess, there were likely multiple migrations out of Africa prior to the one that finally “stuck”.

They found the finger next to an iPhone. Even then they couldn’t get that damn thing to open using a Finger.

The guy probably died waiting for the latest IOS Update to fix the problem.

That's the British model, a master-race vision called Replacement.

We don't know anything of the kind. There used to be a claim around that there was an eruption (Toba) that squeezed the human population down to 70,000 or so, so that may be what you were thinking about -- but it's been debunked.
The out of Africa theory only proves that all currently living humans are descendants of a common ancestry that exited Africa at a particular time... it doesn’t say Humans never left Africa prior, only that if they did, none of those lineages survived to current day.
A theory doesn't prove anything. Common ancestry is suggested by the fact that we're all very much alike at the genetic level, and even before anyone knew about such things, total strangers meeting for the first time seem to have had no problem gettin' down to it and making babies, so, common ancestry.

Seeing that it was found beside an ancient dry lake bed, the owner was most likely set upon by a predator, lion, leopard, etc, while drinking and not paying attention to their surroundings.

Can you photoshop the cigarette out of that photo, or at last post a warning like they did for the Chappaquidick movie?

The origin of humans will be definitively located when the geographical origin of the honeydew melon is found.

Sorry but there is evidence of previous migrations, but they don’t seem to have failed... all survivors appear to be from a single
Migration, but there is not evidence it was the first migration out of Africa

Your “theory” and the facts are amazingly opposed. The human race began with one man, Adam, then one woman, Eve. After many generations, God became disgusted with mankind’s lack of allegiance to Him, and he reduced the world population to eight: Noah, his wife, and their adult children and spouses. Humans have been rebuilding from there. If you want to truly study both history and science, I recommend you begin with a serious reading of the Bible, cover to cover.

Apart from the beings commonly known as “people” please give examples of other such species.

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. There may be other tribes as well, with ancient historian Pliny the Elder recording a particular Ethiopian tribe that was known to be 12 feet tall.

On the other HAND....PYGMY ?

Humans have been around for 2 million years. Leave it to Newsweak to get confused.
