>>510525410The Out of Africa theory, while dominant, oversimplifies human evolution by framing modern humans as a single, recent African lineage that replaced all others. Fossil and genetic evidence increasingly points to a more complex, multiregional process, with Homo sapiens traits emerging in multiple areas, including Asia, well before the supposed migration window. The presence of archaic admixture (Neanderthal, Denisovan) in non-Africans and early Homo sapiens-like fossils found outside Africa — predating the classic migration timeline — challenge the idea of a clean, recent African origin. Rather than a single origin, the evidence suggests regional continuity and interbreeding, making the traditional Out of Africa model an oversimplified narrative, increasingly incompatible with the full scope of global human evolution data.
