"Potential hominin affinities of Graecopithecus from the Late Miocene of Europe" I have no idea what that even says :(

  If I had to guess, I'd say it's being suggested that Graecopithecus is a species that modern humans are descended from. Late Miocene sounds like an era in the history of the world.

  I'll take a stab "Evolutionary Ancestors of Modern Humans Originate from Greece Instead of Africa"

    Some people may read it as immediate ancestors. But I don't know how we can clarify that in a succinct manner.

    "Potential Avolutionary Ancestors of Modern Humans Theorized outside of Africa"
• pavanky 9y ago
  It means they found an ancestor species to homonids in Europe. The title is wrong because it says Europe was a birthplace of mankind instead of a place an ancestor species of Humans evolved.
