Even multi-regionalists acknowledge that the genus homo arose in Africa.

OoA as a theory in itself includes a lot of assumptions, some of which, have been dismissed by recent studies...such as the no interbreeding between HSS and HNS.

It doesn't really surprise me, since extinction is a major force in evolution, and climate change is a major cause of extinction. I'm not surprised that all three are linked together. It saddens me the fascinating science that some miss out on.

Isn't it strange though? Reality is so badass, and I got bored of fairy tails when I was a kid.

Fairytale are still fun, the trick is to recognise when they are fairytales.
