Fossil Discoveries Challenge Theory of Human Evolution

First of all, the "theory of evolution" says absolutely nothing about straight lines. On the contrary, diverging lines are more likely. Current theories about human evolution may assume straight lines, but frankly I think that's wishful thinking on the part of the archaeologists. A lot of the sciences that study humans (psychology, sociology, archaeology) are somewhat blinded by a desire to think that we are "different" in some way than the other animals. Wishful thinking.
