To me it is an easy answer............the White man's con..im in 2025, greatly truncated this for easier reading.........too much clutter..
Oldest Homo sapiens bones ever found shake foundations of the human story
Idea that modern humans evolved in East Africa 200,000 years ago
challenged by extraordinary discovery of 300,000-year-old remains in
Moroccan mine
Fossils recovered from an old mine on a desolate mountain in Morocco
have rocked one of the most enduring foundations of the human story:
that Homo sapiens arose in a cradle of humankind in East Africa 200,000 years ago.
Archaeologists unearthed the bones of at least five people at Jebel
Irhoud, a former barite mine 100km west of Marrakesh, in excavations
that lasted years. They knew the remains were old, but were stunned when
dating tests revealed that a tooth and stone tools found with the bones
were about 300,000 years old.
“My reaction was a big ‘wow’,” said Jean-Jacques Hublin, a senior
scientist on the team at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. “I was expecting them to be old, but not that old.”
Hublin said the extreme age of the bones makes them the oldest known
specimens of modern humans and poses a major challenge to the idea that
the earliest members of our species evolved in a “Garden of Eden” in
East Africa one hundred thousand years later.
“This gives us a completely different picture of the evolution of our
species. It goes much further back in time, but also the very process
of evolution is different to what we thought,” Hublin told the Guardian.
“It looks like our species was already present probably all over Africa
by 300,000 years ago. If there was a Garden of Eden, it might have been
the size of the continent.” Jebel Irhoud has thrown up puzzles for scientists
since fossilised bones were first found at the site in the 1960s.
Remains found in 1961 and 1962, and stone tools recovered with them,
were attributed to Neanderthals and at first considered to be only
40,000 years old. At the time, a popular view held that modern humans
evolved from Neanderthals. Today, the Neanderthals are considered a
sister group that lived alongside, and even bred

From wiki..........about a Tom Clancy novel................. Simultaneously, the Soviets seize Iceland in a covert surprise attack with the Soviet merchant ship Julius Fucik disguised as a Lykes Lines American LASH ship , capturing the NATO air station at Keflavík and eliminating the GIUK - SOSUS line to allow the Soviet Navy to surge its submarines into the Atlantic Ocean without being detected. In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its ballistic missile submarine fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against resupply convoys coming from North America with both aircraft and submarines. This advantage is put to immediate use as a NATO carrier battle ...
