Debunking the Claim: Africans Are Not More Homo Erectus Than Europeans
“africans are more homo erectus then europeans explain why im wrong”
Summary
Modern Africans are not more “Homo erectus” than Europeans; Homo erectus is an extinct hominin that left Africa long before modern humans evolved and contributed little to the genome of any present‑day population. All contemporary humans belong to Homo sapiens, and genetic studies show that archaic admixture (e.g., Neanderthal, Denisovan) is higher in non‑African groups, not the reverse. Therefore the statement is incorrect.

But the backers of a dissident view--which holds that living humans are descended from several indigenous populations of the Old World--did not give up the fight. A recent analysis of fossils, they argue, shows that an archaic Homo erectus from Java shared key features with living Asians and early modern humans in Australia.

The examination identified the African populations as paraphyletic, thereby compromising the OOAH. The finding, which was consistent with the out of Eurasia hypothesis, OOEH, was corroborated by the mtDNA introgression from Hss into Hsnn ...

Some scientists distinguish between the African (Homo ergaster) and Asian (Homo erectus sensu stricto) fossils of this taxon, while others lump them together as Homo erectus sensu lato. In either case, there is general agreement that it descended from an earlier species of Homo (e.g., Homo habilis) and represents one of the widest dispersals of early humans in our evolutionary history. It is likely that distinct populations of Homo erectus sensu lato led to the emergence of later hominin species, such as Homo heidelbergensis, and ultimately to our own species, Homo sapiens.

Thus, any overlap in Neanderthal admixture with Africans resulted in an underestimation of Neanderthal admixture in non-Africans and especially in Europeans. The authors give a single pulse of Neanderthal admixture after the out-of-Africa dispersal as the most parsimonious explanation for the enrichment in East Asians, but they add that variation in Neanderthal ancestry may also be attributed to dilution to account for the now-more-modest differences found.
