Texan students storm out after professor says we’re all of African descent

Can anyone guess why?
Some Texas State University students in Dr. McGee’s Cultural Anthropology class left the lecture hall after he said in a lesson that all living people originated in Africa. As the exiting white students left the classroom, some remaining in class reportedly called out, “Black Lives Matter.”
The lecture started out with a message from the professor that the day’s class would be a lesson race and it would be particularly interesting, said Justine Lundy, 20. The professor began talking about the Black Lives Matter movement and how it had come about before stating that all living being descended from east Africa.
“It was dead silent,” Lundy said, before a student retorted with a “sarcastic ‘sure.'”
At that point, students began to leave the class. A few disagreeing students who didn’t leave the classroom in a huff stayed behind to argue with each other.
“A lot of people left,” said class attendee Karene Taylor, 19. “It was embarrassing.”
Dr. McGee — as his credentials, years of research and general expertise would suggest — is not wrong. The so-dubbed “out of Africa” theory is widely accepted as our definitive origins by the scientific community. The University of Cambridge’s Andrea Manica and his team spent years of research comparing thousands and human skulls as recently as 2007 to prove that, yup, we all originated solely in Africa.
