Genetic theory pretty much proved the "Out of Africa" fable wrong roughly a decade ago or so . New evidence keeps piling up, but old theories don't die until the old stalwarts retire and die off.
The German physicist Max Planck said that science advances one funeral at a time. Or more precisely: “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
However, in this case, I think that there is a vested interest in the new people perpetuating the out of Africa story because they are racist.
