Did the black race was the first race on earth?

Question

Do you think Black People, was the first people on earth that had the ability to think?

Answer 1

As homosapiens, we were able to think far before any race was even determined or any change in skin color occurred. All homoerecti were able to think then. Not just humans.

Answer 2

A recent National Geographic expedition tracked a male-linked marker across various parts of the globe to get data on migrations of early humans.

The data strongly suggest (pretty much proof) that the earliest people lived in an area where the native population is currently (and historically) black. However, there is no solid evidence yet as to the skin color of the people who lived in the early years of H.Sap. The climate and other living conditions are still a matter of "educated conjecture", dependent on climate, speed of adaptation, prior genetic history, amount of body hair, and so on. There are too many confounding factors to make a reasonable conjecture, let alone something that would stand the tests to become a theory.

For me, the most interesting part of the results was that the genetic evidence essentially proves that North America was settled over the Bering Strait. From there, humans spread down the coast as far south as present-day Santiago in a span of roughly 800 years.

There was also a neat tracking of genetic similarity that puts the Scandinavians and Mongols more closely related than previously thought. The hypothesis has one branch of the migration coming north into the Caucasus and then splitting, one group heading west and north, the other east.

Answer 3

It's obvious that as Homo sapiens has evolved there has been a differentiation in pigmentation. It's highly unlikely that any genetic lineage has a significantly smaller amount of overall genetic change compared to any other. So unless skin, eye, and hair color is the only important genetic trait to you, none of us are really much more like our common ancestors than any other, whatever their skin color was. No group stopped evolving.

If I had to make a WAG as to the skin of out ancestors, other members of the biological family Hominidae closest related to us (and in the same general geographic range our ancestors likely originated in) usually have mostly black skin. That's not much to go on, but then again it's not a big issue.

All higher primates have the ability to think, and the ability to reason is not a trait limited to humans. If you are looking for a way to use Biology and Evolution to support racism and racial supremecy that boat sailed years ago. You would find more support for your notions in a psuedo-scientific religious arena, where perhaps you can find support that one particular "race" has superiority over another through divine right or something.

Answer 4

Except for the fact that "Black People" are not a "race", yes.
And assuming that by "people" you mean the genus Homo. Specifically, H. habilis (2.5 million years ago) almost certainly had black pigmented skin.

Answer 5

Maybe your ancestors were black in color but I highly doubt the thinking part.

I have yet to see much proof that even modern blacks have the ability to think. But this is just my opinion.

Answer 6

If you are that interested, go to your local library and do some research. But really...what does it matter? All humans are created equal.

Answer 7

Hi. Thinking is common to ALL humans, so I don't think color has much to do with it.

Answer 8

acording to most scientists, the oldest race on earth was either the romans or greeks, check out this site to find some more info.

Answer 9

No! It was properly someone of reddish complexion.

Answer 10

no. we all came from adam and eve. weather they were black or white it doesnt mattter.
we are all equal. and honestly does it really matter
