Hi there historians,

I'm currently doing a history 101 course at uni and it seems to me that the Out of Africa hypothesis is still widely regarded as fact. I mean, I learnt it as fact in highschool, and it certainly seems convincing enough- but every few weeks I see articles popping up debating and debunking the theory. I saw a big one recently on /r/science (sadly I can't find the link) that claimed there were Asian ancestors without a trace of neanderthal DNA, thus contesting the theory.

Any one of you guys got some definitive answers for me?

Thanks
