Only in a narrowly Western cultural sense. You seem entirely deaf to the possibility of other cultural options which themselves can be equally valid. And no, scientists really don't. The old guard fight to defend their theories even long after all evidence is solidly in favor of the alternative theory. There are still idiots who believe in multi-regional theory long after evidence and the mainstream decisively show that the Out of Africa theory is the human past.

This reminds me of nothing so much as the Calvinist trying to explain that what Jean Calvin did to Geneva was not reflective of the Calvinist spirit despite all evidence to the contrary.
