history - Chinese originate from Africa, not Peking man

Peking man

More rewriting of history books is in the air as a team from Fudan University - part of an international group - has discovered that the Chinese do not originate from the Peking man but from Africa, like we all do. Originally from the Ming Pao Daily in Hong Kong:
Based on DNA analyses of 100,000 samples gathered from around the world, a
number of human families, including the ancestors of black, brown, white and yellow people, evolved in East Africa some 150,000 years ago, said Li Hui-gen, a member of [the] team.
About 100,000 years ago, some of those humans began to leave Africa, with the yellow people moving to China via South and Southeast Asia, Li claimed.

Seems we have more in common than we thought. If it is true, of course.
