Wow really interesting that the area that is said be were humans left Africa by crossing the Red Sea 60ka was blockaded by Malaria-carrying mosquitos until modern times. Much of the Sahel also was blockaded, sealing off Subsaharan Africa. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Neanderthals in Germany went extinct within 3000 years after their population peaked 43,000 Years ago. This was not a gradual decline. This was a mass extinction.

Bombshell: Singa skull from Sudan likely only 40,000 years old, much younger than previously believed. Often cited as proof of Homo sapiens evolution in Africa, this is another major blow to the theory.🤯 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

1982, German anthropologist Gunter Brauer correctly predicted that Europeans are a mix of early AMH and Neanderthals, but his idea was dismissed by the Out of Africa theorists that said Europeans were 100% pure Homo sapiens from Africa.

Light Skin genes existed long before 29,000 years ago as we are often told. The specific variant common today is 29ka, but the allele is 139ka.

"Instead of a unidirectional “Out of Africa” model, a multi-directional “shuttle dispersal model” is more likely to explain the complex phylogenetic connections among African and Eurasian Homo species-populations." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…

This 2010 documentary claimed that Neanderthals migrated from Subsaharan Africa 300k years ago
Really nice graphic of Neanderthal ancestor migrating out of Africa 300kya, from some documentary around 2010. Every anthropologist knows this is false but they still put this kind of misinformation out.

New Scientist and Live Science cited a study saying that Most Europeans were dark until 3000 years ago, claiming that almost every available European genetic sample was used when in fact 25% of the samples were not European at all.

Stringer and Hawks debate the 1 million years old origins of Homo sapiens Clade. Stringer says genetic dates 600-800ka underestimate split times due to underbreding. youtu.be/M5-vkErXD7s?si=ts1E…

They are still pushing the idea that Sapiens were not intelligent enough to survive outside of Africa until 70,000 years ago. Even Homo erectus could survive in the cold. If true, what does this imply about early branches like the Khoisan who split off over 200,000 years ago?

Given the fact that the early Sapiens lineage migrating into Europe only added 5% ancestry, then the migration that mixed 80/20 with the African archaic must have encountered a much smaller population. If this lineage migrated into Subsaharan Africa it would have been swamped..
