The time frame is fairly large - we're talking hundreds of thousands of years just to get from homo erectus to homo sapiens sapiens. What is wrong with that time frame?

Actually, this is consistant with both Creationism and Evolutionary theory - Humans as a species would have to have a common ancestral root, as it is highly unlikely the same species could rise at different times from previous ancestors.

I believe the DNA evidence you're referring to is the study of mitochondrial DNA - that study is a central component of the "out of Africa" theory of human expansion, and doesn't violate evolutionary theory at all, as it relies on competitive advantage . . . eh i'll stop there, read up if you wnat more, it's really nerdy but somewhat interesting.

Anyway - the point is, I agree with your final point - i think we're a long way off from getting the theory "correct", probably hundreds of years, but it's the best thing we have for now.
