The human evolutionary 'tree' is very tangled, and evidence exists for the emergence of homonim from Africa, some of which moved into Europe, and some of which could have then possibly migrated back to Africa. As sea levels rose and fell, new routes were forged or land disappeared, enabling all this back and forth. Homo Sapiens is a descendant of this tree, and emerged from Africa. So that has not changed. What they…

>So the potential explanation is that this or a descendant found its way to Africa, and then gave rise eventually to Homo Sapiens. given that Mediterranean dried out completely about 1M years later, back then there weren't 2 different things - Europe and Africa - like today, just a huge valley where may be a large part of our ancestors' evolution took place.

How on earth this title could be offensive? Why does it make you offended? For several years we were tracing the beginnings of mankind to Africa. Now there is another source in Europe. In the future other sources might be discovered. How is it offensive? What does it change for you?

This news being offensive to him might mean he is a racist. No sane person would take this title as offensive.

Your post itself is inciting, because you imply that those up-voting the post did so due to "their world views". I am sure you can think of other, less offensive reasons that are more likely explanations of the votes, like scientific curiosity.

Political correctness at its finest. European/American users voting for news, that can take some significance from Africa = offensive. And this is happening on the left-leaning site. Great.

Your entire line of reasoning is borderline moronic. You don't like talking about white privilege because some white people feel like they don't get enough credit because they're white. Meanwhile people of color suffer from real racism, both colloquial and institutional. Sure, it's socioeconomic too, but that's because for many, they're 3 generations from having the right to representation and 5 from having any human…
