Of course the "originally out of Africa" dogma reigns supreme, still in terms of human origins. However some very ancient bones from China and eastern Europe/balkins (IIRC) is starting to cause some questioning of the out of Africa dogma.
Sorta like Osucka's fake birth certificate put to rest his "birther" scandal. And remember how Comey told us Hillary was innocent. Settled Science. I could go on.
Never forget that people (NPCs) are stupid and believe what they're told and want to believe.

It is amazing how theories have changed as we learn more. Too many are tied to one specific narrative about what happened and don’t want to consider new information. I agree that there was undoubtedly more mixing in the past 500,000 years than we can imagine.
I think a number of interbreedable hominids did exactly that and several hominid species merged into what we call Homo Sapiens today, but that’s just my belly feel.
