Archaeologists in Israel have discovered the oldest fossil of a modern human outside Africa. The fossil suggests that humans first migrated out of the continent much earlier than previously believed.
The scientists were digging in a cave called Misliya, on the slopes of Mount Carmel on the northern coast of Israel. "The cave is one of a series of prehistoric caves," says Mina Weinstein-Evron of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology at the University of Haifa, who led the team. "It's a collapsed cave, but people lived there before it collapsed."
The cave had been occupied for several hundred thousand years, she says.

So Africa was a S***Hole back then as well.
Either that or the SUV’s made the climate too uncomfortable.
Is anyone else tired of this dogmatic BS that all humans “migrated out of Africa”?
when these “palestinians” migrated out of Africa, were they intent on a one state solution or two?
npr as source. No thanks.
Well if the Bible is to be believed, the Garden of Eden and creation of man had to be in one and only one place. Why not Africa? Why is that dogmatic BS?
I’m not tired of the “out of Africa” hypothesis because it’s supported by evidence.
Here it is from Fox:
The dam is starting to break.
But remember, multiregional evolution (which is obviously what happened) does not rule out a founder population in Africa, one of the few places where humans could have survived the Toba event - and it does not mean that present-day Bantu peoples are the direct ancestors of the Han, the Dravidians, the Aryans or the Europeans.
>> it does not mean that present-day Bantu peoples are the direct ancestors of the Han, the Dravidians, the Aryans or the Europeans <<
Agreed. But I’m not ready to rule out a Kalahari-Bushman-like people as the common ancestors to all the groups you mention.

Yep, and probably it wasn’t in New Jersey, at least not anywhere near the upper reaches of the Turnpike.
That must’ve been when Neanderthal Michelle made her exodus out of Africa.
Thanks. Better.
Though what does this say about Peking Man, dated at twixt 680k-780k years?
Independent evolution?

Peking Man was a Homo erectus, an older species than modern humans. They left Africa hundreds of thousands of years earlier.
Even back then they knew it was a sh$&thole.

According to fossils found and dated in the country of Georgia, almost two MILLION years ago.
