Whodunit

There’s a lot to cover here. But the human evolution is an unfinished detective story, like who killed who. “What’s more, the discovery suggests that early modern humans were likely replaced by Neanderthals in this region (Eurasia) by around 170,000 years ago, while highlighting the importance of southeast Europe and the eastern Mediterranean in human evolution, she said.” The prevailing theory is that humans violently displaced the Neanderthals, but recent evidence suggests otherwise. Evey new evidence is a scandal of being waiting for an identifiable host, murderer or no murderer. Fossil records buried beneath the abyssal ground would be brought up to the surface, leaving a hypocenter, the Earth, hallowed by post-humous excavation intent on an epigenetic explanation of emergence (ie of a crime) But as in an earthquake scenario, the hypocenter can only be localized – hence, the epicenter registered on the surface. It could be that the Earth itself conceals the murderer.
