Notice the title of the BBC article.
Green Arabia's Key role in Human Evolution.
So you basically have an article that shows scientists believe something Muhammad was overheard saying maybe true. But it's also discussing another scientific theory which basically disproves the Quran the way most Muslims interpret it anyway.
I'm a bit jaded to the way the religious mind works but I predict there's going to be some confirmation bias here when most Muslims read this article. There's going to be heavy skepticism, questioning and basic denial of the human evolution part, but rejoice, no questioning and full acceptance of the green Arabia part.
I realize that some Muslims do believe in evolution but I'm just talking about a tendency. Plus after reading parts of the quran I personally don't understand how evolution fits in with God talking to dust and making a woman from mans rib and telling Adam the names of the animals.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
