That's... pretty much what happened. I like to think of it as the first instance of "white flight." One group of African proto-humans were smarter and less violent than the others and moved to the frozen wastes of prehistoric Europe in order to get away from them.
I'm not exactly well-read on the newest developments in evolutionary theory so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been developments within the past decade that have made people question the out of Africa theory? Pretty sure at some point there were competing theories gaining prominence. Could be totally wrong and confusing it with something else though, so someone more knowledgeable on the matter feel free to chime in.
The entire hypothesis of evolution relies on too many coincidental beneficial mutations in too short a time period for them to have occurred randomly, in our universe.
The number of successful mutations required to make a human being is would be depicted by dividing one by a number larger than the human brain can truly comprehend for the denominator.
I'm no expert, but I think those developments have been fossil discoveries that push back the initial migration out of Africa back to 200,000 years ago. Previously they thought it was less than 100,000 years ago. Which only highlights just how different Africans are from Europeans & Asians. I wonder if, had we been allowed to drift apart for another 100k years or so, interbreeding would even be possible.
As I understand it, going by Haplogroups, We ascended out of Africa, then followed the coast-line eastwards (rising sun) blocked from going north by the glaciers, going to Asia, then dividing into North Asia and Oceania, then north Asia to again divide into North America (going South America) and Russia. Then Europe.
So does this mean they'll turn against the "out of Africa" hypothesis that they also love so much?
