That's not science, that's WokeTardia. Out of Africa purity fell apart,
they found Hss features in Asia before they should have ever arrived so
they just decided to call something "Modern" even though it clearly is
not.
They've done worse, even more obviously fake... like Naledi's burial
inscriptions, fires and whatnot...

which produced "spiritual" humans. You know, red ochre, and all this.

That was found in Europe and attributed to Heidelberg Man.

So, we all, today's humans, which are "spiritual", because we have, like, religion, are descendants from those Adan and Eve, who were, suddenly, hit by the "divine spark" 300 kya.

It's about "Symbolic thinking."
Which, personally, *I* would argue is what modern humans modern...
Evidence for religious beliefs, spirituality is always evidence for
symbolic thinking. That's why it's so important.
Many times I've had turkeys come after me, looking for a handout.
This is a sign of intelligence, recognizing me, remembering that
they had gotten some cracked corn from me. But if I showed the
turkeys a model of the street and pointed out where I had just
dropped a pile of cracked corn, they're never ever going to figure
it out.
