Partly interesting and partly (out-of-Africa) (again ) absurd.

Interesting story. Thanks for posting.
But HS, with his pressure flaking technology going OOA 70 KYA, doesn't necessarily need to conflict with other hominid diasporan waves. There were many. Probably hundreds, if not thousands. Probably starting with HE, the traveler. 2 MYA. And they all happened. Including the 70 KYA HS OOA wave*. Which' attributable main importance may lie in the fact that that specific wave carried that innovative pressure flaking technology with them into the world beyond Africa. But it certainly wasn't the only hominid OOA wave. Nor the first, by about 2MYA!
As so often it is not a case of either/or, but and/and: it is much more probably all true.

* Afaik there also was an earlier HS OOA wave, genetically identified, and dated a little over 100 KYA, wasn't there?

Which part is absurd?

The supposition that everybody on two legs is necessarily descended from an ambitious monkey in Africa because that's where the fossils are found.

Post hoc non propter hoc.

I think you need to read what RS said Uni....

... in actual fact I can demonstrate an extremely logical arguement that The supposition that everybody on two legs is necessarily descended from an ambitious monkey in Africa because that's where the fossils are found. is untrue. Unfortunately for your apparent views it would also demonstrate that white Europeans are not necessarily representative of the highest objective either of creation or evolution.

"Objective"? Who's "objective"? Don't tell me creation is somebody's 'grand design'. Let alone an 'intelligent design'! Because it's pretty stupid.

My wife takes the view that Swiss chocolatiers are!

Swiss chocolatiers are on the exception list.
