The oldest of the oldest Chimpanzee fossils aren't half the age
of erectus, AND we're only talking teeth. IF and I do mean "If"
teeth are definitive then Europe was definitely our point of
origin as teeth that look like Ardi or Lucy are found there.

         Second, this is the prime example of bias in science, if you look hard enough you will find exactly what you want to find.

Nearly everything the "Find" is confirmation of Out of Africa
purity. It's policy, not science. All science that lacks an
obvious economic or national security application is politics.
Done.
Back when Dubya Bush was President everyone knew it. It was
talked about quite a lot. There's even a documentary, "A Flock
of DoDos" where scientist talk about the fear many held in
regards to performing research related to evolution, as the
Religious Reich was wielding it's influence on the grant
money...
Today, only an idiot would try to get grant money doing any
research that so much as questions Gwobull Warbling...
In a way, it's hilarious. People brush this off as "Kooky
Conspiracy" stuff even though they lived through the Bush
error I mean era (no I don't) and can just look around at
the Gwobull Warbling death grip of today... "Sure I see it
but it's Kooky Conspiracy shit to notice it or at least
acknowledge it!"
