So we came from a lab in Wuhan? :]

Actually an interesting theory. The Out of Africa model for the rise of modern humans has a lot of holes in it.

The “Lucy” theory has always been trash, but scientists treat it like religion. Europeans and Asians are not descended from that.

He’ll need to gird himself for the backlash from the afro-centric racists in the American university communities.
Doncha know all good things come from Africa? First in Flight, peanut butter, life itself.

It’s all they got, except the Bible.
If you accept the Biblical origin of man, Asians were established by Joktan, a grandson of Noah.

Garbage theory, more politics then sense. The theory is meant to move the origins closer to Asia to promote a pro Asian (Chinese) narrative.

They know culture is impactful.

Modern Homo sapiens sapiens arose in the area of Turkey, long before muzzies ruined it. The spread East and some desperate ones interbred with Denisovans and produced Asians with their shovel teeth and round flat-from-the-side heads. They also spread West and interbred with some Neanderthals resulting in redheads, or worse - Irish.

The ones that couldn’t make it anywhere else went there.

I have to take stories like this with a grain of salt because they remind me of Chekov on the original Star Trek series always claiming that the Russians invented something first...

Out of Africa is a pseudo theory designed to placate African people who have not been the most innovative or prolific of inventors. It really doesn’t matter much where one animal or another evolves so Africa is as good as any other place. Not to mention that there are only five continents that could be considered and two of them are stuck together. We can easily exclude the American continents.

The article seems to ignore the obvious genetic fact that modern humans in Europe migrated West, from Asia, about 45,000 years ago.

The First Wave of Out of Africa humans started moving East, across the Red Sea, into southern Asia, about 70,000 years ago.

The First Wave of modern Asians moving West, to Europe, followed a southern route across the north shore of the Black Sea.

Those folks started to enter southern and central Europe about 45,000 years ago.

A second wave of Asian immigrants followed a more northern route that ran along the southern Baltic Sea coast (probably frozen solid), into northern Europe, and into the Scandinavian countries, also about 45,000 years ago.

Oh crap. See, this whole time I've been referring to myself as "African-American" based on the African origin theory.

Now what?
