I was surprised to find the 'assimilation model' (Out-of-Africa but with hybridization rather than replacement) was dominant, and now... eventually we're going to discover some confusing variant of 'panspermia' to be the case, from some intergalactic disputed islands that lie on the border of what used to be a united landmass.

"You know the “out of Africa” story: how our ancestors left the savannas where humanity grew up and trekked outward to other continents. Today in Nature, however, a new study of 40 million-year-old fossils argues that an “into Africa” story predates the other narrative: that the animals that would eventually evolve into apes like us and monkeys came from Asia into Africa."

It's possible that many of the remains were lost to Chinese traditional medicine. According to my textbook, it turns out that the "dragon bones" they have been eating are mostly ancient mammal bones.

Ahhh. If you don't take this inflammatory capitalist propaganda back, China will sever all connections with your country and thousands of Chinese will burn and vandalize California-related merchandise and an Arnold effigy until you apologize.
