Traditional PA is incredibly wrong in believing e.g.
-that apiths are human ancestors: bonobos, chimps, high-& lowland gorillas have 0 fossil
relatives ITO: all hominid fossils ITO are closer relatives of Homo than of G or P. Don't
they see how statistically impossible that is??
I see it the other way around.
They are not ancestors to the human line, they are descendants.
Their ancestors where the same Waterside population that we
descend from, only they broke away too soon, pushed inland,
spread out before competition with later arrivals drove them to
extinction everywhere but the forests.
Chimps definitely arose AFTER bipedalism. Gorillas may have,
I would argue that they did. They were well on their way to
becoming big brained, tool making, upright walking hominids
when they moved inland, subjecting themselves to very different
selective pressures... very different genetic priorities...
The first Homo fossil came from Java!
i suspect that..
#1. Primates, Monkeys came from the Americas.
#2. Apes evolved in Eurasia.
#3. Homo evolved in Southeast Asia or Oceania.
#4. Why we say "Out of Africa" is because, after Toba, they
were the first group to bounce back. They themselves
originated from a group that migrated into Africa from
Eurasia, and by then they were ALL hybrids anyway, but
a sexually selected group in Africa was the "Winner" after
Toba. They recovered first, began to fill in the vacuum.
I'm not a geneticist, I hate DNA, up until more recent years
it honestly wasn't very good "Evidence." They weren't good
at recovering it at all, they weren't good at screening for
contamination and they imposed some pretty idiotic
assumptions on it.. not the least of which was the molecular
clock.
So I missed years & years of advancements, I admit it. But...
If everything they tell us about mtDNA is true, if points to an
origins outside of Africa. For modern man, that is.
Compare the age of any supposed "Eve" mtDNA lineage to
Bonobos:

The fact is, mtDNA is under selective pressure. And if you
stay put, keep to a relatively stable environment then your
mtDNA isn't under much pressure to change. Leave, so hiking
to Eurasia though and encounter new environments, new
climates, new foods -- new selective pressures.
So Bonobos haven't been under a lot of selective pressure but
humans have. That selective pressure is in Eurasia. So given
the relatively young age of Mitochondrial Eve, that points towards
a Eurasia origins.
