RE: Out of Africa No Longer Viable
I find the top commenter in the Telegraph article to be wise
It's silly to argue about which of the theories is correct; they should all be viewed as working hypotheses that present the evidence as it stands at present. It is presumptuous to assume that sufficient facts are known to fully validate any current point of view. The clamor for the "truth" does not change the fact that we do not yet know it. Both hypotheses are plausible; remain open to the possibility that others will arise, as well. It is undeniable that the European glaciation can have erased significant fossil assemblages that would give rise to different conclusions. We do not know what we do not yet know.
True, and he didn't even mention that sea level is about at the highest point it's ever been, meaning almost all coastal habitation sites are presently underwater, and practically invisible to science. But little underwater archeology has been conducted to date, and I am certain that the most significant archeological finds will be made there.
Interesting. We stay watchful.
