I will almost forgive you for being a Libertarian for this post. Back in the the late 60's and early 70's when I was in school. I mentioned to a prof of mine that that evolution sounded like a tautology and the distribution of existing archaic species didn't make a hell of a lot of sense.

The guy went into anger mode and pointed out the work of the Leakey's and other Kenya worthies and generally foamed at the mouth. I pointed out to him that Heradotus had the Pygmies on the Niger River and all of this stuff, Don Johnson et al, seemed like a retrograde movement, being pushed to the extremities.
