Further challenges to the "out of Africa" theory for the development of anatomically modern humans. If they were inhabiting Australia 120,000 - 140,000 years ago, that theory – as this article suggests – is rather noticeably failing to hold water! Not surprising that these findings are controversial, as they have not only scientific but present-day sociopolitical significance, at a time when Africanism appears to be the flavour du jour.
