who were the original people on earth?

Question

did we all come from africa, or just some. who are the original albinos

Answer 1

According to the most widely accepted theories on the origins of man, homo sapiens' origins appear to be the Great Rift Valley in Africa. It is believed that here is where earlier man broke off into two groups, one higher thinking, one more stagnant in developement. Those who were first experiencing sentient thought began to migrate out of that area, into lower Egypt, possibly across the Red Sea into the Saudi Arabian peninsula and onward into the Indian subcontinent and the rest of south Asia. This theory then surmises that that group splintered into Neanderthal on one hand, and a hominid closer to modern man on the other, and Neanderthal Man simply failed to survive.
So, yes, it is believed that human beings are all originally from Africa.
My question: where then did that early branch of man go that did not leave the rift valley? Did they eventually evolve, or are our modern scientists simply reinventing racial prejudice by "explaining" the developement of African man in general?
How is it that the experts tell us that man originated in Africa about 100,000 years ago, yet the first known civilization was in Sumeria in roughly 5000-4000 bc? Did man have to get rid of his skin pigment before he civilized? Why didn't he build a civilization in Africa? What made him leave?
And also, knowing the human mind as we do, why didn't the "enlightened" branch of developing man simply subjugate and oppress the lesser branch, as man has done throughout his history?

Yes, all the experts say we originated in Africa, but I have MANY questions as to the overall logic behind these popular ideas.

Answer 2

All of humanity is currently descended from a woman who lived in Eastern Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago. Genetically the oldest people are the San Bushmen of southern Africa. The original Europeans are descended from peoples migrating from what is now the Middle East. Others came from Siberia and the Urals

Answer 3

according to evolution theory, the first homo erectus(us) came from the rift valley in east africa. An archaeologist named Leaky found a super old fossil and named it Lucy, but I think they have found an even older one in the area since then. So, as a professor once told me, "all peeps be african peeps", and it makes sense. The first humans were nomads, they went searching for new resources, or maybe they just liked to move about. Hence, culture and ethnicity diverged. You could check out Darwin's theory of evolution to get a better idea. And, albinoism is not a race, it is a lack of pigment in one's skin, I think it is genetic. There are folks who are albino in every race.

Answer 4
