A single human finger bone discovered in 2016 at an ancient lake site in Saudi Arabia called Al Wusta has now been dated to approximately 88,000 years ago, according to a new study in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.
Early Exit
Exactly when humans began to leave Africa is a matter of debate among archaeologists and paleoanthropologists. Many say there is no reliable evidence for mass migration north and east out of the African subcontinent until 60,000 years ago.
In 2007, Petraglia controversially argued that modern humans were present as far east as India by 74,000 years ago.
“I’ve been embroiled in debates for more than 10 years,” he says.
“We were arguing that Homo sapiens made it to Southern Asia before that date. That was based on stone tools, but I couldn’t support that with fossils,” he adds.
In 2014, he set his sights on the Arabian Peninsula. As a former grassland that could have supported hunter-gatherers, he theorized it would have been a natural stepping stone out of Africa
If you didn't know, the discoverer of a species is allowed to name it. If you don't want jew names for your probable ancestors you should have studied paleontology.

Perhaps one day you'll discover a species and they'll name it Incompotus Homosexualus ?..

Why is refuting Out of Africa even important? We're clearly a different subspecies from niggers, so it doesn't matter if our ancestors came out of africa before evolving into white people
What is the evidence that humans were in Africa more than 88,000 years ago? Or what were the oldest human remains found in Africa? It seems early human and humanoid remains are more often found around the Mediterranean and Fertile Crescent than in the jungles of Africa.

I agree,I'm a white person and I am clearly a more evolved species than you,user. I won't put you in any oven though,being more evolved and what not

It really annoys me that's still being used to describe people who did not originate from the Caucus mountains.

I'll name an invertebrate Materscortum Tripimpudicitia
