   The problem is that human evolution is intensely complicated and we know   
   that there was a Eurasian migration into Africa. We know it.   
      
   The LM3/Chromosome 11 insert is far, Far, FAR older than any   
   "Mitochondrial Eve," BILLIONS of people are walking around carrying   
   it on their Chromosome 11, where it jumped to 8 hundred gazillion   
   years ago, and it's Eurasian in Origins.   
      
   Well. BASED ON HOME THESE THINGS ARE DETERMINED it's Eurasian. BASED   
   ON EVERYTHING CLAIMED ABOUT DNA IN ALL OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES it's an   
   Eurasian mtDNA line, it originates in Asia and it was carried into   
   Africa, where it appears at a significantly reduced frequency...   
      
   "Out of Africa" is really only useful post Toba.   
      
   I mean, "Out of Africa" happened but relatively recently. There were   
   severe "Climate Catastrophes," Toba being the worst (by far) and Africa   
   was well suited to survive. Europe wasn't. Sundaland was Ground Zero   
   in the case of Toba!   
      
   That was the "Eye of the Needle" that all of so called "Modern" DNA   
   passed through. Doesn't matter what human DNA looked like even 10   
   seconds before that, Toba filtered most of it out... nearly all of   
   it.   
      
   So, I heavily suspect that what you're seeing here is the filter of   
   time coupled to population dynamics... interbreeding... this "Modern"   
   DNA is Eurasian.

   The problem is, it doesn't look like that. There's no 250k year old   
   African DNA. None.   
      
   DNA sequencing is excellent at telling us WHAT the DNA looks like.   
   But it can't and doesn't tell us how it got that way. It's pure   
   conjecture predicated on bias... a-priori assumptions.   
      
   Everything is predicated on itself. They ASSUME so called moderns   
   originated in Africa -- more or less falling out of the sky -- and   
   interpret everything on that basis. But if you don't assume that   
   then other interpretations don't just seem real but likely.

   Which means the Neanderthal DNA is 250,000 years older.   
      
   If the African DNA has 250,000 years of additional changes, it's   
   younger. It came 250,000 years AFTER the Neanderthal DNA.   
      
   And that makes PERFECT sense if we imagine a migration INTO Africa!   
      
   Because if a population is adapted to its environment AND THEN LEAVES   
   THAT ENVIRONMENT it is under brand new adaptive pressures --   
   evolutionary "Selection."   
      
   See?   
      
   Does it mean I'm right? No. But it does mean that there most definitely   
   are additional AND JUST AS VALID (or more so) ways of interpreting   
   information.   
      
   That's all I'm saying. Long winded.
