I have to disagree with you, Chuck. As late as 2007 they were still insisting that OoA ( as written - not as you wish to amend it) was conclusive.

OoA is the theory of a single common heritage for all of humanity. You can't chip away such a big piece of it and still say the theory remains intact. They must now revise their theory to account for the findings of the Neanderthal genome project which was released a mere two years later. No one held a gun to their heads and made them say that there was no interbreeding with HNS. That is a self-inflicted wound.

Quote:The research confirms the “Out Of Africa” hypothesis that all modern humans stem from a single group of Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa 2,000 generations ago and spread throughout Eurasia over thousands of years. These settlers replaced other early humans (such as Neanderthals), rather than interbreeding with them.
