Oh boy, i'm sure this thread will be full of great and quality discussion.

Its already been known that when homo sapiens spread into africa from the middle east where it evolved it racemixed with primitive hominids like homo erectus and homo habilis creating the modern africans. This is hardly news, geneticists have known that just like europeans and asians have neaderthal and denisovan DNA africans have DNA from various earlier hominids that inhabited africa. Those early hominids didnt just vanish into thin air.

Middle East was Neanderthal 100000 years ago.

Homo habilis was a literal subhuman on two legs with a bigger brain and smaller teeth than Australopithecus that died out 1 million years ago and Homo erectus was extinct in Africa by the time we popped up, they were only in Asia until 70,000 years ago.
What the flying fuck are you talking about you stupid cunt?

yeah habilis is a bad example obviously.could have been homo heidelbergensis X homo sapiens that interbred for example then. plus theres no consensus on how many species descended from homo erectus and who begat who.
what he's saying is pretty easy to see if you take your head out of you ass
