it's an honor to get pinged by you ;-) I am skeptical about a lot of things, and 'Out of Africa' is one of them. If I am to go by what I read in the news, it seems like they find a skeleton older here and there, not just Africa. It's confusing. I'd like to see a definative nailed down location for these origin studies.
I don't remember just when it was;however,I do remember that not too long ago,a skeleton/s about as old as LUCY, was found in China.That blows the "out of Africa" junk out of the water completely!
There are three races...that's it! If evolution and the "out of Africa" stuff were both true,then why didn't some parents in China,let's say,ever have a Negroid looking child?
