I'm not remotely an anthropologist, but my very-simple take on this is that it has no impact on the out-of-africa hypothesis which happened relatively recently (~60k years ago) -- this just suggests that ~7mm years ago, earlier human hominids were found in Europe.
(think, maybe Lucy's ancestors came from Bulgaria. or had a dead family tree which lived in Bulgaria.)
- _Codemonkeyism 9y ago7m years ago there already was Bulgaria? Didn't know!
- flukus 9y agoRather than disputing the out of Africa theory, it seems to propose an earlier "into africa" stage. It may lend some credence to the multi-regional hypothesis though.
