New Research Reveals Two History-Changing Discoveries
Our Sapien migration from Africa was far less linear than once believed, but more importantly, the archaic days seems like one big love fest.
When I first saw today’s topic in the news, I dismissed it. But I read about it while tumbling down a different rabbit hole, and boy, oh boy, am I glad I did. This new research is a two-in-one, two-history-changing discovery within a single study, plus bonus findings! So settle in because there’s a lot to get through.
Basically, scientists found strong evidence that our species didn’t vacate Africa all at once around 50,000 years ago and suggest Neanderthals weren’t extinct but absorbed into our Sapien population. In other words, this new research rewrites early chapters of Homo history, from our migration out of Africa to how our hominin family members got along — and not just the Neanderthals.
Ever-Changing History
By the time my school years ended, I thought humanity had learned everything we needed to know. I thought there weren’t any more significant discoveries left to be made, that past scientists like Einstein and Galileo had found everything there is to find.
