What is the mainstream rebuttal to this anomoly?

First, it's badly researched.
eg the author says:
"(2.) Prehistoric cave paintings have been discovered at Australia's
Jinmium . Some tests indicate they might be 120,000 years old.
Australia had previously been thought to be inhabited by humans for
perhaps 40,000 years. "
Which means he did no research on Jinmium once he read that.

Tests Reveal True Age Of Controversial Jinmium Aboriginal Rock Shelter

Science Daily - Tests by Australian scientists using world-leading
dating technology have revealed the controversial Jinmium aboriginal
rock shelter in the Northern Territory is less than ten thousand
years old, the international science journal Nature announced today.

He also writes:
"New regional testing of human mitochondrial DNA has indicated that
the oldest sequences or versions of the human gene are coming out of
Asia and Australia (not Africa as expected) with dates of 200,000
years ago."

No references of course so I don't know why he thought that in 2002.
Here is Athena Review on the subject, about the same date he wrote:

Did Early Humans First Arise in Asia, Not Africa?

National Geographic News, December 27, 2005

Two archaeologists are challenging what many
experts consider to be the basic assumption of
human migration-that humankind arose in Africa
and spread over the globe from there.

Robin Dennell, of the University of Sheffield in
England, and Wil Roebroeks, of Leiden University in
the Netherlands, describe their ideas in the
December 22 issue of Nature.

They believe that early-human fossil discoveries over
the past ten years suggest very different
conclusions about where humans, or humanlike
beings, first walked the Earth.
