Plenty of people, especially on this website, do not understand that a scientific hypothesis has to be effectively proven in order to be elevated to the level of theory. A scientific theory is NOT a guess. Evolution is a fact.

no it isn't

Science doesn't prove things, it disproves them. If a theory has not been disproven, then it is assumed to be true by inference.

Notice I said "effectively proven," not "proven". That is only possible in mathematics.

This is an old image. No mention of denisova, likely an early entry of people related to Melinesians aborigines and papuans into the new world long before ANEs, pretty sure type R reentered east Africa from outside. Also genetic exchange with Neanderthal and denisova was more transformative than 5% admixture would suggest. Lots of new stuff coming Into view.

darwin's evolution conjecture is not a scientific theory because it cannot be disproved.

Ironically, Out of Africa is a hypothesis, not a theory. Sub-Sahara Africans have up to 20% of their DNA from an archaic non-sapiens ancestor.
The earliest human fossils are from Turkey and the Levant. Sapiens evolved around the Mediterranean and then a group migrates back into Africa.

Look up "blik". A bilk is an unfalsifiable statement which is nonetheless not meaningless. An example would be "everything happens for a reason".

Don't worry, everything OP wrote was totally, utterly and completely wrong.

That map is not a fact. Earliest homo sapiens fossils are from morroco = the mediterranean, not subsaharan africa.

I think that's a really bad example and R.M. Hare provides a better one when he argues that a delusion is not meaningless but is unfalsifiable
