Africa : Out of Africa theory in Question?

Let me reiterate ''The multiregional model states that modern humans evolved from several different groups of hominids (including Neanderthals) that interbred at some point to produce modern humans.''

A new, improved sequencing of ancient human relative genomes reveals that Homo sapiens didn't only have sex with Neanderthals and a little-understood line of humans called Denisovans. A fourth, mystery lineage of humans was in the mix, too.

As reported by the news arm of the journal Nature, new genetic evidence suggests that several hominids — human relatives closer than humans' current living cousin, the chimpanzee — interbred more than 30,000 years ago. This group of kissing cousins included an unknown human ancestor not yet revealed by the ancient DNA record. :confused:

Smack in the face of the OOA.
 
  • Human evolution;
  • mitochondrial Eve;
  • multiregional model;
  • nested clade analysis;
  • out-of-Africa replacement;
  • phylogeography
Starting with “mitochondrial Eve” in 1987, genetics has played an increasingly important role in studies of the last two million years of human evolution. It initially appeared that genetic data resolved the basic models of recent human evolution in favor of the “out-of-Africa replacement” hypothesis in which anatomically modern humans evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago, started to spread throughout the world about 100,000 years ago, and subsequently drove to complete genetic extinction (replacement) all other human populations in Eurasia. Unfortunately, many of the genetic studies on recent human evolution have suffered from scientific flaws, including misrepresenting the models of recent human evolution, focusing upon hypothesis compatibility rather than hypothesis testing, committing the ecological fallacy, and failing to consider a broader array of alternative hypotheses. Once these flaws are corrected, there is actually little genetic support for the out-of-Africa replacement hypothesis. Indeed, when genetic data are used in a hypothesis-testing framework, the out-of-Africa replacement hypothesis is strongly rejected. The model of recent human evolution that emerges from a statistical hypothesis-testing framework does not correspond to any of the traditional models of human evolution, but it is compatible with fossil and archaeological data. These studies also reveal that any one gene or DNA region captures only a small part of human evolutionary history, so multilocus studies are essential. As more and more loci became available, genetics will undoubtedly offer additional insights and resolutions of human evolution.

Are you really a scientist?


WAS this not your comment?


Don't try to change up what you said.





:spar:[/QUOTE]
Yes, and you have offered nothing to the contrary. Nor on the other things I asked you about.

What you waiting for? A pat on the back? You stated you're a scientist to boast, but you haven't put forth anything or even stated exactly what you believe.



Go back and read what I asked you for. If not, don't feign intelligence by askewing the topic. You don't know what you're talking about, so lets just end this.
