> I'm not convinced that this is any sort of neutral analysis
Did you actually read the article? Nowhere does it suggest that anyone is claiming that China is the origin of Homo Sapiens. This million old skull discovered in China is not Homo Sapien, but related to Denisoven. It’s scientifically interesting since it suggests two things
1. Homo sapiens have existed longer than we previously thought.
2. Homo Sapiens may have come out of Western Asia, not Africa. But China is not in West Asia…
Please find other articles to fit into your the-Chinese-are-supremacist narrative. This one is not relevant.
To be fair, you can use LLMs to get to the reference. Gemini is pretty good at that. ie. You can ask it how to do such-and-such in Python and to provide a link to the official documentation.
