“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.
