Quick question, Is anyone disputing the fact that we originate from Africa?

Question

I mean its common knowledge right?!

Hey "dana" by "we" I mean the HUMAN RACE!!!

Hi "Wish2Travel" sorry but if your only proof is found in a 2,000 year old book I believe its farce. And no I am not religious.

Hi "Mr.Tom" click on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_%28Australopithecus%29

Hi "Buttercup" yes here in the US they don't teach us too much information about things that happen OUTSIDE of America. Its a shame......

"Diosdado Brian A. Galang, III" their is more then enough proof

Ladies and gentlemen if you would like to see an idiot in its clearest form, please look at the answer given by "Aloysius"

People please with all do respect stop bringing religion into this.

Here is a great website that I am interested in now. Thanks "Mr. Zwink"

"ms_spunk" Good answer. But as far as the first people on earth, we can both agree our DNA dates back to Africans. Or "African-Gwondanalandians"

"kelly j" Good answer.

"James M" you are not backtracking far enough.

"Peaches W" yes you are, whether you like it or not.

Answer 1

nope, its pretty much considered scientific fact, if youre interested in this field try looking up info about the genografic project. they mapped the genes of hte humand race and mapped the path of the africa exodus of man.

as for religions, well they usually tend to stick to what they beleive in regardless of the proof presented, so im sure there are people here who might contest this.

Answer 2

Every thing that I've read, (and believe me, as a disabled person, I read a whole LOT) indicates that Africa was the cradle of civilization and we spread from there. This often seems unlikely to younger people who are not aware that, not too long ago, geologically speaking, the entire continent was a lush garden...with no deserts like now...all of the Sahara, Gobi and Kalahari were rich grasslands or forests.

EDIT: Reading the answers above almost makes me despair of modern education...

Answer 3

I know this much, I hope that will help.

ARMENIA: THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION

THE BEGINNING OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION

Human beings have inhabited the Armenian Plateau and Caucasus Region since over 100,000 years ago. Little is known of them, however, drawings in caves and on rocks attest to their existence. The area, situated between some of the Old World's major water ways, is generally considered the cradle of civilization. Additionally, the Bible records that Noah's Ark came to rest on Historic Armenia's Mt. Ararat, and there are many references of his descent from the mountain after the Great Flood.

Archeological and historical facts point to the development of civilization in the region with the formation of the Urartu kingdom around 980 BC. Various Urartu rulers built capitals in the area, such as around Lake Van in the thirteenth century BC and that built by Argishti I in 782 BC, the ruins of which are preserved today in the Armenian capital of Yerevan. The first mention of Armenians in historical writings is found in inscriptions at Behistun, near the city of Kermanshah in modern-day Iran, which date to 600 BC.


Anyone who doesn’t know about Armenian can go to the following website and learn about Armenia.

Answer 4

definite it extremely is genuine. Do you extremely think of the combination of mutations and recombinations that yielded the 1st human beings occurred greater desirable than as quickly as? no longer bloody probably. No, the 1st human beings extremely regarded in Africa and at last many migrated to distinctive climates and chop up into diverse gene swimming pools, ensuing in racial and ethnic differentiation.

Answer 5

We all came from Gwondanaland. Which is not a made up place. And if you have never heard of it, then you have obviously not done enough research. So no, we did not all come from Africa. Everyone in the world and everyone from Africa came from Gwondanaland.

Answer 6

Not true. Earth was a penal colony for other planets, we were just dropped off On the African continent first because of all the vast open spaces which left plenty of clearance for the ships. That is the real reason different groups of people look so different from each other and why humans are so hostile.

Answer 7

More likely Pangaea,The super continent, which would explain how we humans were able to disperse, but life started in the area we refer to as Africa.
Mysticalviking's answer was funny though.

Answer 8

It was common knowledge in public school abroad (in SE Asia) and in NY, from an anthropological POV, as well as historical and biological.

I'm always surprised that people don't know it.

PS
For naysayers who want to be convinced - how about reading about it yourself? I don't wait to be convinced in order to educate myself.

Answer 9

Ah, but Adam and Eve were blonde, blue-eyed, and fair. As was Jesus. Because, you know, all the facts about ethnicity and genetics don't apply to Christian mythology. *eyeroll*

(In other words, not disputing the fact on this end.)

Answer 10

yeah and i think its true, i mean if you study the dates of when all the great cities and empires of the world and see the chronological relationship to when people started arriving in the same area it makes sense.
