More evidence that the idiotic “Lucy” theory is B.S. All human life did NOT come out of Africa.
I can’t recall when in my youth or exactly what it was that began my drift away from orthodox scientific thinking on numerous topics, but the whole ‘Lucy’ thing and ‘out of Africa’ always rubbed me wrong.
Regardless, it spawned my mantra about the stupid things which come from those who proffer to be ‘smart people’ simply due to a little piece of paper.
The examples are endless.
I can design and make all kinds of stuff, but still can't spell. Making stuff is more intuitive than writing.
I've always suspected that is a "feel good theory" for those who have contributed almost nothing else.

"Invention. The first magnetic compass was invented by the Chinese during the Han dynasty back in 206 BC. It was later adopted for navigational purposes by the Song dynasty during the 11th century and later in Western Europe and Persia in the 13th century.
Ancient people were just as smart as us. They were limited by the tools available to them.

Invention. The first eyes looking skyward made observations, handed down over generations, using such knowledge first for land navigation then, as generational skills and food needs dictated, applied to seafaring navigation."

40,000 years ago SE Asia was populated by Denisovans.
Maybe Homo Sapiens migrated in and were better at seafaring, spreading beyond Denisovan areas thereby restricting the later’s access to resources and hastening their demise?
Are you citing orthodox ‘science?’
Just sayin’
