If homo sapiens is the result of cross-breeding among different humanoids originating from different regions of the world, the one from Africa and the one from E. Asia more than 100K years ago could be essentially different subspecies, neither of which are homo sapiens.
Ping!
You might find this interesting.
Sounds like this might challenge the 100,000 year date, not necessarily the hypothesis.
Once the red motherland is in proper control of the world, we will be getting a lot of these updates to our previously held silly notions about history, science, politics, and religion as part of our noble re-education. Even Kofi might learn a few new things.
Bucky Fuller long held that man originated in Southeast Asia.
bttt
They claimed the Russians had invented the automobile, the airplane and the rocket. It was pretty funny, for awhile, anyway.

Looks like the Chinese have taken a page from the old Soviet Union...
"The fossilized bone implements bear traces of human beating, testifying that humans, not apes, lived inside the mountain cave, said Qiu Zhanxiang"
Human beating? Fruedian slip?
The Chinese have been trying to show that humanity arose in Asia (China) for quite some time now. Any "discoveries" about human origins reported by Chinese authourities are susupect.
The Chinese would very much like to not be from Africa. Imagine the boost the pan Sinicism that would come from any acceptance of the idea of a "separate" origin ...
According to the Master of Sinanju:
G-d decided to create men, so he used the dust of the earth to create the form, and popped it into an oven. He pulled the first one out too soon -- it was too pale.
So he created another one and popped it into an oven. He let this one go too long, and when he pulled it out, it was burnt - black.
Having learned from this experience, he created a third one, popped it into the oven, and pulled it out just in time for it to be golden tan. He called this just right and gave it life. Thus the first asian was born.
Of course, this was in Korea, not China.
Trident!
Ancient West Virginian skull found in China cave!
3 lousy teeth and NO other bones????
The Scars of Evolution"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'"
