This is misleading & false. Genetic evidence has conclusively proven our roots are in Africa. While the bone finds are real; the entire interpretation and situating of those finds are incorrect. (I do human genomics for a living).<p>Their interpretation of geology is also incorrect. The saharan sand comes via winds & continues to do so; making the Mediterranean soil very fertile:<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2018/03/26/photos-dust-from-the-sahara-has-turned-the-snow-orange-in-russia-and-eastern-europe/?utm_term=.dda3ecf2937b" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/...</a>
Interesting, but what's to say we won't find older hominid bones in Africa next year? Is it wise to be so certain that Europe was the birthplace of mankind based on a single discovery? Really, the same goes for Africa. Why are we deducing that each oldest bone means _that_ is where humans came from?
Is Evolution still a thing? Who cares where humans came from.<p>Elon Musk will merge you with an AI if you can afford that and you will be part of the new Techno sapiens species.
