Our ancestors populate the globe and they have
for a very long time. Very long. MILLIONS of years.
That's how far back our ancestors go in Asia... at the
extreme minimum: Millions of years, plural.
#2.
Modern man descends from an Eurasian population.
Yes, even the African population in whatever "Out of
Africa" dispersals are themselves descended from an
Eurasian population.
No, sorry, this is fact.
Evidence for this Eurasian origins is preserved in the
nuclear DNA, chromosome 11, where we find what
remains of an extremely ancient mtDNA line, far older
than any supposed "Mitochondrial Eve," and this line is
Eurasian. The "Out of Africa Mitochondrial Eve" was a
descendent of this Eurasian line.
If this is not the case then the way we interpret DNA
evidence is out the window, it's completely wrong, and
any hope of using "Molecular dating" is gone forever.
Sorry, but to argue that this very ancient DNA is not
very much older than the so called "Mitochondrial Eve,"
or that it does not originate outside of Africa, is to argue
that everything you've always believed about DNA is
wrong.

There's some very inconvenient retrovirus evidence.
Apparently African apes carry the evidence for a retrovirus
outbreak that occurred millions of years ago. Asian apes
and humans do not.
#4.
We evolved under conditions where DHA was plentiful.
Our brains need DHA. It doesn't matter if you can find 6
thousand species for whom this is not true, because it
is true for us modern humans. We need DHA and whatever
adaptation that allows us to synthesize it from ALA just
plain isn't that old. The "Molecular Dating" crowd says it's
only 80k years old! So either there were no modern
humans before 80k years ago, no big brains, or our
ancestors were getting their DHA elsewhere.
NOTE: Evolutionarily speaking, the reliance on DHA had to
come before the adaptation to help synthesize it,
ESPECIALLY when you consider we're still not great at it.

Coastal Dispersal.
Our ancestors did not take a train, they didn't drive a car
and they weren't even riding in a horse drawn buggy.
Nope.
Our ancestors spread from Australia to southern most
Africa, and everywhere in between, following the coast.
Oh. Maybe I should add: This means they were exploiting
the sea.
There's no getting around this. None. Coastal Dispersal
requires "Aquatic Ape." They're one and the same.
Our ancestors were not in search of a Burger King. They
weren't on a scavenger hunt. It wasn't a potato sack race
either. No. They were eating. They were living there, eating.
They were consuming resources then moving on.

Here's an interesting paper on Denisovan numts that are polymorphic in
the current human population.
Not the one you're talking about, though.

Could you cite the publication that shows that this line is Eurasian?

Which one is the one I was talking about, exactly?
Oh; none of them:

Exactly.
So you're not making an argument, you're posting random URLs
again.

Why?
Are you swearing right this second that you are absolutely ignorant
as to HOW these things are determined?
You're ignorant; is this the fact that you are testifying to right now?
If not, you're obfuscating.

So you're "Arguing" that there's a lot of Denisovan DNA in sub Saharan Africans?
Is that it?
Wow. That's dumb.

REMEMBER: You're pretending to be interested in the topic of human
origins. But if you were, instead of a troll, you'd know that "Out of Asia" favors the region which today demonstrates the highest percentage of Denisovan DNA. So you seem to be arguing "Out of Asia" even as you
try to rationalize an "Out of Africa" position.
