I have heard of no denial about where the oldest hominid remains have been found. It is an absolute fact of where these fossils are found and I would love to see where you are getting your information from. All journals and papers that I have read, all lectures that I have attended, including one by Richard Leaky, have noted the facts and talked about them. Your source is suspect to say the least.

Actually, the international community accepts that the oldest humans remains are from Africa and that humans did in fact come out of Africa. You should go online and do the research for yourself. Even by the gene record that has been traced shows humans came out of Africa.
Others may refuse to accept this for many reasons - pick one, any one. The reality is that we are all part of the same gene pool that sprung up some several millions of years ago. OR it is that God is a scoundrel and is playing a big fat joke on all of mankind.

The denial is not so much about WHERE they were found, it's more about that they were found AT ALL.
Who wants to deny it? The churches, of course, because it interferes with the Adam-and-Eve theory in the bible. It also turns the bible into nonsense when it comes to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.

The out of Africa theory was pushed first by Darwin who noticed that human's presumed closest relatives (chimps and gorillas) were from Africa. Darwin made a logical but flawed theory in my opinion. It just didn't pan out. The first response, in my opinion, hints at the racism that underlies this theory. He states, "We evolved from black men!" Most scientists and I am sure the questioner are this blatantly stupid but I suspect there is a wish that we evolved from them and are therefore superior. In fact the negro race is one of the most recent on Earth. They conquered Africa quickly taking it from the Kung (Hottentots or Bushmen) and Negrillos (pigmys). They reached South Africa about the same time that Europeans did.
Humans evovled from Apes. These apes were likely descendants of Miocene apes from Asia. Around two million years ago, Homo erectus moved out of Africa (apparently). After that, humans could have been evolving in Eurasia and Africa simultaneously as they have been throughout history. There is a lack of fossil evidence. One or two fossils in Africa (or in Asia) do not prove a theory. It is interesting the lengths some scientists go to push this out of Africa belief. In some ways it is more of a religion than science in my opinion. They never seem to acknowledge what we do not know which is a great deal.

More creationist or religious bs: it doesn't happen to fit in with their restricted worldview, makes a change from: "don't confuse me with facts!".

racism, the oldest man is black, no matter what.
white mans evolved from black mans, that's it.
so 100% of human population has black man blood in their veins.
