Did the earliest hominids in China migrate from Africa?

In academic circles, there has been no fixed and unified understanding of the origin of human beings. At present, western scholars hold different opinions. Did humans originate in Africa? Point of view, and China scholars insist? More origins? Theory.

The origin of human beings, briefly summarized, should be: Australopithecus Homo erectus Homo sapiens. Archaeological discoveries in China confirmed that the earliest hominid fossils were Yuanmou and Beijingers, but they both belonged to Homo erectus. That is to say, up to now, there is no archaeological discovery earlier than Homo erectus in China, while Australopithecus, homo habilis, craftsmen and so on were all found in Africa, which is one reason why western scholars believe that China people originated in Africa. Homo erectus appeared after Heidelberg and Neanderthals, but the archaeological discovery of Homo erectus is also very strange, because Homo erectus was only found in East Asia. Scholars speculate based on the discovery of fossils. They believe that Australopithecus originated in Africa, the descendants of the craftsman Neanderthals arrived in Europe, and then Homo erectus arrived in East Asia, and further evolved into Homo sapiens, thus producing the early China people. However, whether the evolutionary process from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens is completely correct remains to be discussed. Whether Homo habilis is a direct descendant of Australopithecus and whether Homo erectus must be a direct descendant of craftsmen, on the basis of limited fossils found in archaeology, these are still questions worth pondering. From the perspective of molecular biology, Fudan University collected 20,000 samples for genome comparison, and came to the conclusion that as early as 654.38+million years ago, modern Homo sapiens had gradually migrated out of Africa and entered Chinese mainland from Central Asia, while Beijingers in China were extinct, which had nothing to do with modern China people.

This seems to confirm China's theory that man originated in Africa, but with the excavation of modern human fossils in Hunan, this theory is challenged again. Fossils may prove that modern humans originated in East Asia, so whether humans originated in East Asia or Africa remains to be discussed. At least at present, most domestic scholars have reservations about China's origin in Africa.
