well done! I understand it better from your talk!

[@dpcealla]

Great speech! Thanx a lot!

[@thinktank2255]

Thank you, Dr. Brenna Henn. I also believe in the Southern African-human origin. Someone should tell Nina Jablonski at Penn State and the lead-female geneticist at UPENN because they believe in a Caucasian-African human origin based on the skin colors of chimps who are also brown. 🇺🇸

This is not true, Mungo man found in Australia has been dated to 80,000 years ago

[@thinktank2255]

She EXCEEDED 80,000 years with evidence of African genomes. Therefore, it IS true. 🇺🇸

Looks like that should be 40,000 years, which doesn't contradict anything presented here.
