Hey Lex,
Excellent points, and question. Myself, the science is what is believable. The Cradle of Civilization started in Africa. Over time, different diets, different survival situations, inventiveness became a necessity in different ways. That was mistaken for intelligence. All people are equal!

Yes evidence suggests that the first humans evolved in Africa. First they migrated eastward along the coasts and spread throughout southern and south east Asia which would explain why Australoids resemble Africans. Then with time they began moving west again ultimately reaching Europe where they began to evolve lighter skin due to less sunlight and more hair to protect them from the cold. I could go on forever but you get the picture. I think we are all human and that's what really matters. Genetically there's not much difference. What we perceive as great differences it's controlled by probably not even 15 genes out of the tens of thousands we have in common.

To begin with my answer would be NO! I opened the link and discovered the article was from.............Reuters......and we all know what they do! Anything is possible....According to all of the links below I don't know why Reuters would be the only ones to know where it began.
I myself am going to finish reading the links.
The hatred among the people according to my belief is just what Satan wants........we should not give it to him.

Below is link with and excerpt.

Question: “What is the location of the Garden of Eden?”
Answer: The only thing the Bible tells us concerning the Garden of Eden’s location is found in Genesis 2:10-14, “A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold…The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” The exact identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, but the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are well known. If the Tigris and Euphrates mentioned there are the same rivers by those names today, that would put the Garden of Eden somewhere in the middle east, likely in Iraq. People have searched for the Garden of Eden for centuries to no avail. There are various locations that people claim to be the original location of the Garden of Eden, but we cannot be sure. What happened to the Garden of Eden? The Bible does not specifically say. It is likely that the Garden of Eden was completely destroyed in the Flood.

And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates" (Genesis 2:10-14).

I am astounded at the level of ignorance displayed by most of these answers. The only replies that shows a glimmer of intelligence and education are from Graham B. and Morebster - well done you two!
If my grammar and spelling were as appalling as that displayed in most of the replies, I would be too embarrassed to post an answer on the Internet. Do you people have no shame, or are you too ignorant to realise your limitations?
The answer to the question is that yes, (and the majority of scientific opinion agrees), all Homo sapiens are descended from a small group of hunter gatherers that left Africa between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. It is believed, (by scientists, not religious nuts or pub philosophers), that hominids evolved in, or near, the Great Rift Valley, which stretches from Lebanon south to Mozambique. As for skin colour, it is not known for sure what colour skin the early humans had, although it is thought that skin colour is affected by climate as some of the other replies suggested. In answer to why there is hatred between different races, see Graham B and Morebster who both make good points, although try to ignore their grammatical errors.

yes, the earliest known human remains that have been found come from africa, pre-dating by many thousands of years any human remains from anywhere else in the world, therefore the logical deduction is that we, human beings, originated in africa and spread out from there to colonise the whole world (the 'out of africa' theory). however, fossilised bones cannot tell us what colour the skin of these first humans was but again, the logical deduction is that if modern humans in africa have dark skin, and the climate was the same then as it is now, then the earliest humans must also have had dark skin and the dark pigmentation was lost or changed slightly depending on where the early humans migrated to. as to why the hatred well, i believe that there is a great degree of stupidity and ignorance behind it. the migrations from africa took place over hundreds of thousands of years so a white european living (for example) in 18th century britain would have no idea that he was distantly descended from a dark skinned african who he would view as strange and different from himself. anything he doesnt understand he fears, and this fear causes him to act aggressively.

Yes. It is said that humans evolved from the black race somewhere in Sumatra 2 million years ago. The humans far from the Ecuator have the skin lighter because of the climate.In Africa there is so much sun that african's skin is more darker to protect form it.The people far from the Ecuator dont need this protection from the UV so they have the skin lighter

properly race does if truth be told exist. rather some disinformation has been spread through the computing gadget brigade, claiming that race is an imagined idea invented through racist white human beings 1000's of years in the past. Race is not purely pores and skin colour. it must be seen on the cellular element, as well. yet acknowledging that race exist does no longer immediately make you a racist, or packed with hate. i imagine that pretending it does no longer exist, and then hoping racism will bypass away, isn't a thanks to abolish racism. And why did you purely element out white racist communities? Why no longer element out la Raza or the recent Black Panther celebration? I also locate it interesting the way you bypass onto renowned race on your "extra information" section, through addressing your "black brothers and sisters."

It is commonly believed that the human, or its ancestor, came from Africa, Ethiopia I think which may have something to do with Rastafari religion (Ethiopia being Zion I think). And yes as we migrated into more temperate climates we did not require the pigmentation.
I think that hatred and waring is just part of human nature, think of it not as a race thing but just as a club mentality. Football hooligans dont care what colour you are but what colour your shirt is, the list can go on, mods and rockers etc etc.

^^ Finally a good reply! Can I just add that there is litte or no evidence for inter-breeding between Cro Magnon man and the Neanderthals, despite what one poster said further up this page.

What colour was primordial soup? I guessing mucky brown.
Hatred is bred through ignorance and fear. Then again many pack animals react violently to outsiders who don't look or smell right. It's quite possibly a mixture of fear, ignorance, and some genetic condition that we no longer need.
