Nice article but it is an attempt to attack the Out of Africa idea. This paper claims that the Melanesians are related to some ancient group that lived in Siberia in the ancient past.
This theory is bull. If you read the article they provide no firm dates for this hominid--so their conclusion lacks any validity due to the fact their findings are not reliable.
The Melanesian language is related to West African languages. They also share many placenames with West Africans and probably only arrived in the Pacific region with megalithic culture which only entered the area after 2000BC. So there is no way they met this population over 60kya.
The journal Nature like the European Journal of Human Genetics is very Eurocentric. They rarely publish any letters to the editor disputing their findings--which usually aim to isolate Africans in Africa, and Africans being influenced by Europeans and Asians carrying African genes through a back migration.
The recent discovery of African skeletons in China that are 100ky old suggest that the OOA event probably took place much earlier than the precent agreed upon date of 60kya.
You can read about the Chinese skeletal fine here:

Neanderthals do not support an ancient existence of the contemporary European type. Neanderthals like other ancient homonids looked African.
These researchers fail to remind people that some of the earliest neanderthal remains come from Africa. This being the case Neanderthals were also Black.
Europeans have invented a lie that Neanderthal looked like modern Europeans when they did not. I show a picture of the recreation of Neanderthals in my video below at 3:35 :
As you can see the Neanderthal looked African too. They are using the myth of European appearing Neanderthals to fool people into believing that Africans are not their ancestors. Sad is it not.
