Also didn’t humans only leave Africa less than 100 000 years ago?

The Homo genus proliferated around the world several times over, with different species and subspecies of humanoid dating back tens of millions of years.

Homo Erectus - the progenitors of modern Homo Sapeins Sapeins, and a number of other close relatives - demonstrate a fossil record as far away as the Philippines. The “Flores Man” was a genuine subspecies living out on the island of Flores, Indonesia until extinction around 50,000 years ago.

Africa happened to be a font of human and near-human relations. It served as a veritable Garden of Eden for genetic diversification. But humanity and its off-shoots were not confined there over its millions of years of evolution.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
