Every couple years we find out humans are actually couple million years older. Almost like these mfs are playing guessing games.

This stuff is so fascinating to me. A few weeks ago I went on a binge of Human history and what intrigued me the most is how weird it must have been to live with other human species. The differences were much more different than skin color, hair texture, and facial features. It had to be an uncanny feeling coming across a Neanderthal.

I don’t trust China in general."The skulls were discovered by a Chinese team in Hubei Province in central China who compared them with other human species"
Yeah I don't buy it. I don't trust China when it comes to these things.
The human genome has been mapped and ALL signs point to us coming out of Africa as a species. This is complete nonsense. I could understand the argument we was in Asia earlier or that the skull belonged to a sister species that mated with humans, but Homosapiens come out of Africa.

Not necessarily. This may just show another species of human that could have splintered off from what eventually became homo-sapiens in Africa.
Well, we know there were multiple hominid species in Africa interacting so why would that not be the case to the places they migrated to? As another poster stated, most human genetic diversity comes from Africa so a fossil really isn't changing that fact.

Uncanny valley and probably one of the reasons homosapiens wiped them out.
In a few years hopefully we’ll look back at right now as a low point in scientific study. I honestly can’t think of a time more than now where science and evidence was more questionable.

The fossils don't matter as much as the DNA.
There are 7 major DNA haplogroups: L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6.
Africa = has all of them
Outside Africa = only L3
The entire world outside of Africa comes from a single branch. Migration may have happened for hundreds of thousands of years BEFORE what we thought....but the people alive today, come from The Motherland.
Euros and Asians keep trying to juelz their way out of it, but da genes don't lie.

Yea, I agree with that. I may have misread your initial post.

I am of the mindset that Humans wiped out the males of other human species and took their females. I think that's what explains the low percentage Neanderthal DNA in Eurasian populations.
Another theory is that Male Neanderthal and Female Human offspring weren't fertile enough to keep populations going and if a lot of intermixing was happening, that would eventually cause the Neanderthal populations to dwindle to nothing.

As fake as it gets. We're really supposed to trust China about this?

It makes sense. Historically that is how we replace populations demographically/ethnically. Kill the males and the male children and then take the females. I don’t see why we would not do that to Neanderthals. It would also explain the small amount of DNA.
The genetic print is already established. Albert Perry's Y-chromosome revealed the A00 haplogroup, the oldest human male lineage, dating back 338,000 years.
"To find where Perry’s Y chromosome may have come from, samples from around Africa were tested. Several more from Perry’s branch were found amongst the Mbo people of Cameroon."

They have tried this numerous times in Asia, but they are not the Alpha and Omega. We are.
They believe they stem from Zhoukoudian and that Zhoukoudian (Peking Man) is the oldest being ever. Of course this is folklore babble... and not based in facts.
"In 1993, in response to the international Human Genome Project pioneered by the United States, the Chinese government began to sponsor national projects in conjunction with the international effort. The result of this scientific endeavor confirmed international geneticists’ conclusions regarding a very recent “African origin” of all modern humans, or Homo sapiens.This scientific development confronted the longstanding nationalist belief that the “Chinese” had lived in “China” as an independent human group since Homo erectus, represented by the 700,000-year-old Peking Man. By examining the still pervasive political uses of a presumed prehistoric ancestor of the people as well as the controversy sparked by the scientific challenge that has provoked public discussions, this article identifies a potent racial discourse in contemporary Chinese nationalism and connects it to a broader international context."
