Homo sapiens are not older than 150,000 years.

Wouldn't this shoot down "Out of Africa"?

No. Best evidence is the very close DNA relationship of chimpanzees, gorilla and the bonobos of Africa. Vs. the far more distant relation to the orangutan of Indonesia.

Non-knuckle walkers came out of Africa.

What is very mysterious is the many species of hominids found everywhere but in North or South America. Was there simultaneous development in many locations?

Neither science nor religion will ever fathom it. It's unknowable. The development of species seems to ANTICIPATE survival development, not use "natural selection". Uncanny.
