FYI: The headline is intentionally obtuse. It should've been closer to the facts, IMHO, but engagement sells 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
It refers to white dudes studying the fossils back in their country
What is this comment
🤌🏼
Two of the first three words in the comment that apparently confounded you are literally "the" "headline", FFS.
Read the quote
When you look at other African countries with rich fossil records – like Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa – you don’t see the same level of participation, it’s always some white dude, So Ethiopia takes the lead, and that is a great source of pride for us. The discoveries from the Middle Awash have literally rewritten the history of humanity.
