“A key period in human evolution wasn't in Africa” – David Reich
Someone mentioned OoA in a post so I thought I’d share what I recently heard David Reich say. For anyone following archeo-genetics, the field that has taken over the conversation of the evolution of humans, you know David Reich of Harvard is the top name in this discipline. That doesn’t mean his always right or that I always agree with him on his positions. He’s the establishment. Yes he’s a jew.
But its important to note when the establishment starts changing its tune. Here he is basically admitting that OoA is wrong — its myopic and arbitrary. Gene flow among homonins has been continuous in many directions across africa and eurasia for 2 million years and its been proven with archeo-genetics. “Human” adaptations in homo species likely did not emerge in africa.
Can you think of another race of humans who are capable of creating a future face of Ubermensch?
Sure, theoretically any population, if you have enough time. You just have to replicate conditions or artificially recreate a similar selection process ( laws, genetic screening)
At some point, you have to admit that all speciation events have a gray area, but eventually one group breaks off and becomes distinct from other groups.
No thats exactly what doesn’t occur. Braided stream model, not tree
I say this has already happened, it SEEMS arbitrary until you realize that Germanics are fundamentally different from all other humans.

Haha. No. Difference is degree not kind.
