Thread: Hono sapiens ancestry

Recent study indicates ancestry of us is more complicated, including different relatives. Makes sense?

Depends what the study says, obviously. But as you have omitted to refer to it, we are completely in the dark about what it claims to have found.

It is article I saw.

From another article I won't bother to name.

"New evidence even raises the possibility that our modern human ancestors may have journeyed by raft or simple boat out of Africa 60,000 to 70,000 years ago, crossing the mouth of the Red Sea. “If they could travel from Southeast Asia to Australia 50,000 years ago, the question now is, how much farther back in time could they have been doing it?"

Did they really island hop on rafts?

Study I cited puts modern human evolution much further back in time.

Humans could have existed before continental drift.
Passing alien star fleet could have introduced them to faraway places like Australia.
