How can asians be the first people in europe if oldest homonids are found in europe to begin with? shouldnt that make it the other way around, europeans were the first people in asia?

Asia was populated by humans before Europe was, so all Europeans are Asian and all Asians are African.

That is debatable. Oldest homo sapiens was found in morroco, oldest hominid ancestor was found in crete.

As you just stated, the earliest homo sapiens was found in Morocco. Morocco is in Africa. Hominid ancestors are irrelevant as they are not humans. Thanks for proving your own statement wrong.

Ardi is 4,4 million years old. Cretan fossils are dated at 6 million. So no, they are not.

Source?

All I could find was hominid footprints dated 6 million years ago and sources said the dating is controversial
