"Potential hominin affinities of Graecopithecus from the Late Miocene of Europe"
I have no idea what that even says :(

I need an article written in plain English which interprets this article.

Fossils belonging to a species found in Greece showed similar features to the earliest known hominins (human species lineage), but were even older, shifting the "birthplace" of the modern human species from Africa to Europe.

They found some fossils, including jawbones and teeth, in Greece belonging to an evolutionary ancestor of homo sapiens sapiens that seem to be older than those found elsewhere.

#9I'm not remotely an anthropologist, but my very-simple take on this is that it has no impact on the out-of-africa hypothesis which happened relatively recently (~60k years ago) -- this just suggests that ~7mm years ago, earlier human hominids were found in Europe.
(think, maybe Lucy's ancestors came from Bulgaria. or had a dead family tree which lived in Bulgaria.)
