Thanks for posting that article - its better than most on the topic.
However, there is ample evidence that people were in the Indonesia area long before Africa and that from there, there was a migration INTO Africa. In short, the “Out of Africa’ theory is now suspect. Lots of people like the “Out of Africa’ theory because it gives a direct route to Europe and connects to their historical ancestors. But that leaves out all the other evidence from Asia and SE Asia that contradicts it. If you want to know more, start reading; don’t ask me, I’m busy reading.
As the author notes about people 300,000 years ago “theoretically could have discovered relativity, built space telescopes, written novels and love songs. Their bones say they were just as human as we are.” And over that period of time, nothing, not even dust, would remain of what they did or did not have or do; nothing we build or make today would last 10,000 years let alone 300,000.
We only know of them because a very few were ‘lucky’ enough to die under circumstances that their bones fossilized. And because of institutionalized consensus thinking, anything or object which contradicts that thinking is ridiculed, buried, and the finder ostracized from the scientific community; it often takes decades for the current consensus thinking meme to be overthrown.

I’m an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist from Kodiak, Alaska. I’m interested in how the world evolved to be the way it is. I study mass extinction, adaptive radiation, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and mosasaurs, among other things.

Singularity Hub.? Perhaps the should call it Secular Hub..
I’ve got news for you - DNA is way more complex than computer code and takes a highly intelligent mind to create it. DNA can not write itself.
What about micro-evo you say? It had to also be written into the original DNA code to allow for adaptation and mutation but it is only within the same kinds of DNA no such thing as macro-evolution [monkey business!].
Last consider what has been learned on the creation science side of the argument.
There are always books. But time is the Great Book Burner.
How many ancient scrolls are still around in readable condition today?
A couple of thousand years and all is lost.
Computers fare even worse than books; hardware, operating systems, programming languages, change so quickly and thoroughly any prolonged break in our civilization will leave people who try to figure it all out in the distant future only wishing it were as simple as the Rosetta Stone!
Shouldn’t that read: WHEN WILL................?.............
LOL
Definitely. Neither do I, i.e., have enough faith to believe in evolution.
It’s a nice little religion to promote Marxism.
