Petralona Man Challenges Out Of Africa Theory?

Back in 1959 a skull was discovered in a cave in Petralona Greece, the skull has been dubbed Petralona Man or Archanthropus Petralona and has been scientifically dated to be between 240,000 and 160,000 years old.
According to Dr. Poulianos the Petralona skull is around 700,000 years old and that makes this skull the oldest human Europeoid unearthed in Europe.
According to his research the skull did not originate in Africa but evolved independently in Europe.
Greek palaolithic palaeoanthropology remains largely unexplored and should be researched more as more excavations are needed in this area in hopes to uncover more fossils to clarify the questions we still have up until this day.
At this point in time, no early modern human specimen are known in this area, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t there, it means that because there hasn’t been much focus in the are they are most likely not yet found.
The petralona skull shows the importance of this area when it comes to a deeper understanding greek and european prehistory.
But it is important to look at the facts, not at what we would like to believe.
