A huge problem with the fraud that is paleo anthropology is that, like
the defense of a guilty murderer, they show you (and demand that you
look) at everything in isolation.

"Omg! Ten million guns of that caliber are in the United States, that we
know of! NOTHING ties the murder to this particular gun!  So it was
fired recently? So what? Gun owners are supposed to fire their guns as
often as they can. It's called PRACTICE and they're supposed to be as
proficient as possible!  He said he hadn't fired it?  EXACTLY! Someone
whose constantly practicing with their gun really isn't keeping track
of when they're fire in. It's like cleaning the dishes or filing
something at work -- one day bleeds into another. You can never remember
when exactly you did that thing or talked to that friend, but you know
you did. The bullet? Is that some kind of joke? Do you have any idea
how many MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of bullets that manufacturer produces?
Many police forces use that brand. Is the prosecution telling you that
a police officer murdered the victim? Why not?  Same caliber gun, exact
same ammunition and they're practicing all the time, firing their guns."

#1.  You need a model.

A hypothesis explains the evidence. Not "A" piece of evidence but all
of it. And Out of Africa purity nonsense can't do this. Which is why
it is CONSTANTLY pretending that new evidence "rewrites the book" only
the book is never rewritten.

#2.  You need predictions.

A fake science like paleo anthropology does the opposite:  It finds
things and then shoehorns them into the pre existing conclusion. There
are no predictions to be tested, nothing that can falsify the dogma.
