>A new interpretation regarding the origin of Homo sapiens
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586
-023
-06055-y

This new interpretation is based on statistical analysis of a large database of genetic information drawn primarily from African and some Eurasian populations as well as from Neanderthal fossils. It employs modeling of genetic variation between contemporary populations which can be projected back in time to trace migrations and interactions between groups over the last 150,000 years to a greater degree than was possible for earlier studies. The result demonstrates a significant amount of gene flow between regions over time. This finding reinforces the view that current physical variations between populations are superficial and merely represent the temporary state of a constant shuffling of populations that has been ongoing for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although the theory that H. sapiens originated in one local population and then spread has been the dominant interpretation for some time, according to the authors it does not fit well with either the archaeological or fossil evidence. Indeed, the physical record indicates a relatively synchronous (on a geological time scale) appearance of both artifacts and fossils attributable to modern humans across a wide area of Africa, rather than a single point of origin followed by a gradual dispersal.

As indicated, the proposed “tangled vine” model of Homo sapiens evolution not only is more in accord with the available archaeological and biological evidence, it supports the view that modern humans are the product of a complex, dialectical interaction between physical and cultural adaptation to a degree qualitatively distinct from all other animals.

What he's saying doesn't make a lick of sense. How can a species appear simultaneously at multiple places.
What happened clearly is that at ONE place H. Sapiens was born in a tribe of a previous evolutionary phase. He was more violent and intelligent and taught them to genocide all the other tribes successfully. He raped his way across the continent and created H. Sapiens halfies which literally mutted the previous H. iteration until they became dominant. This has probably been how the human race developed since H. Erectus because that's our natural behavior
>be smarter than the rest
>genocide male threats
>rape all the women
>lol
>lmao
>repeat
He is correct that this took multiple iterations of new H. slowly developing into the most advanced version of H. but saying that outright will be admitting that H. from Africa are probably less intelligent than those who managed to get the fuck out to Europe and interbreed with Neanderthals or to Asia.
He's doing his best not to justify scientific racism but it's failing.

The debunking of the out of Africa theory is itself debunked by Danielle Twum's journey to America to become the one of nation's most famous and successful scientists. There is now a statue of Dr. Twum in Washington D.C. while there are no statues of any native born American scientists in the city at all, so clearly civilization emanates from Africa

My theory is that there was simultaneous evolution. There were 3 main types of cavemen. When man left africa, he was still a caveman, it was the caveman that became distinct by region, and then evolved into the human we know today. White, black and yellow ones. All became human in their own regions of earth over similar periods of time. They mixed somewhat over time, not much. Some did not mix at all, like the subsaharan desert tribes.

The humans eventually settled in Africa bred and continue to breed with chimpanzees, that is how the negro race came to be
https://guardian.ng/news/genetic-makeup-of-12-year-old-angolan-boy-in-dispute/
The genetic makeup of a 12-year-old Angolan, boy is now disputed by experts after his deceased mother allegedly told him he is the offspring of a human-chimpanzee love affair, reports the Gazeta Nacional.

The story made national headlines and has unleashed an outpour of generosity towards Augusto Dembo, 12, who now lives with his uncle and aunt in the capital city of Luanda.

“S*xual relationships between humans and chimpanzees are fairly common in the region but this is the first time a pregnancy is officially reported, ”Dr. António Mendes of the Hospital Municipal do Luena doubted.

Angola President João Lourenço has already nicknamed the boy the “Angolan Miracle Child” as well as praising the young man as a “National treasure”, “a sign from God” and a “testament to the majesty and greatness of the Republic of Angola.”

This discovery could even challenge the basic foundations of modern science,” has even commented on the current Minister of Science and Technology, Maria Cândida Teixeira.

A spokesperson from the Parc national de Cameia commented on the news by saying that they sincerely regret the loss of Anita Dembo but also condemned “any inappropriate or s*xual acts with any animals in the park.”

“Any s*xual interaction between employees or visitors of the park with animals is not encouraged behavior under current park guidelines,” a spokesman for Parc national de Cameia told reporters.

As for the child’s mother, Anita Dembo, allegedly entertained an affair with a chimpanzee that endured for many years during her employment at the Parc national de Cameia where she has worked as a conservation officer since 1998.

The paper outright confirms what it tried to disprove: archaic ancestry in modern human populations and extreme population structure. A population, called "stem", split from the ancestors of humans and Neanderthals over a million years ago and then at around 100 thousand years ago contributed to both South Africans and other humans but only AFTER they had split from one another. This to me tells that this population had survived 900 thousand years and it even survived up to the LSA as evidenced by West Africans receiving more of this ancestry later than other groups.
