I know I haven't followed this ongoing research much, but I thought that the theory of Africa being the birthplace of humanity had been disproven? Not to mention that with tectonic plate movement, I doubt that it would be accurate to expect the proto-humans to have ever looked like sub-Saharan Africans.
In Current Year you shouldn't trust anyone trying to prove or disprove it. Everyone has an angle they want, and every piece of evidence is buried or elevated to push it.
And there is more blacks and Africa than just sub-Saharan. Far as my understanding went, it was never the Southern half that ever mattered, just those closer to the Northeast where they could cross into properly fertile lands to actually begin civilizations.
There's been a surprisingly quiet yet consistent thread among anthropologists that are studying the matter, with people slowly coming to doubt the 'out of africa' theory.
There's also that slight little, ah, genetic problem. Africans have a ghost species of human that's only present in Africans. Interesting, that.
