The problem is the lack lack of widespread coverage for all regions of Africa in terms of skeletal remains. [/QUOTE]I think that no one denies that there have been multiple archaic types in Africa. After all humans (in a wide meaning) have existed there the longest time. Outside Africa humans (including archaic humans) have existed maybe two million years. And now and then new skeletons pop up (like Homo floresiensis and Homo luzonensis) But since humans been in Africa longer time we can expect more archaic humans there and a longer time of coexistence. It is a field open for more research. And now a new generation of African paleoanthropologists are emerging who can further enhance research in the area. [QUOTE] Generations of scholars from around the world have converged to study human evolution in East Africa. Now a new training program seeks to bring more African students into the field. [/QUOTE][URL=https://www.sapiens.org/biology/african-paleoanthropologists/]Raising Up African Paleoanthropologists[/URL] Hopefully there will also be findings of ancient DNA which will further clarify ancestry and relatedness and similar issues. [/qb][/QUOTE]A lot of these issues simply boils down to trying to make definitive statements about ancient times with little data, especially in Africa. This happpens all the time though mostly because of overconfidence in statistical models which invariably get shown to be wrong as new data is uncovered. [/QB][/QUOTE]
