did black people come first?

Question

White people cannot have offspring of different color. so where did blacks come from. dont give me your opinions, find a link, if you can

Answer 1

We are all descendants of Adam and Eve. The Bible has given us all the important information that we need. It is only humans that keep account of the color, of ones skin or creed, nationality. It is now time to move beyond this. Your poop is the same color as theirs, your blood is the same color of their's, You need tooth paste just as they do to clean your teeth, and soap and a wash cloth to clean your body just as they do. We are ail the same.


WE ARE ALL DESCENDANTS OF ADAM AND EVE, CREATED BY GOD

Answer 2

according to your logic, if whites cannot have offspring of a different color, then that would leave blacks to be first right? since blacks can produce a white child within 4 or 5 generations (with constant white mating) though that leaves the question of where did white people come from. i doubt u will find a link to verify this so all that is left is our own opinion.

Answer 3

All so-called white and black people come from a common ancestor who was certainly dark-skinned but probably not the same in appearance as today's black people. Moreover, there is a MUCH greater amount of difference among so-called black people (in Africa as well as scattered parts of Asia, Australia, New Guinea, and some other Pacific islands) than there is between white people and most Africans. The pygmies and other diminutive peoples (e.g., the native of the Andamans) and also the Khoisan peoples of East and South Africa are widely regarded by specialists (esp. Jared Diamond of UCLA) as very different from other humans. So the real distinctions are not between white and black at all.

Answer 4

First, the words you used, "white" and "color", are social constructs that have little meaning in biology.

Scientific evidence shows that all modern humans originally came from Africa, in particular East Africa.

The first Homo sapiens, or modern humans, came into existence in the last 100,000 to 200,000 years in Africa after evolving from earlier primates. So ancient Africans came first. They are everyone's ancestor. Because Africa is oldest, there is more genetic variation among Africans than the variation within any other people.

DNA research suggests that everyone alive today (including you) has a common ancestor who lived in Africa about 60,000 years ago, a man called Y-chromosomal Adam.

That means every person on Earth are literally distant cousins by a few thousand generations. (The great apes are farther away by a few hundred thousand generations)

People in the rest of the world came from Africans who moved out of Africa in the last 60,000 years (some say 100,000 years).

To leave Africa, they first went through the Middle East. From there, the branches of the offspring of Africa dispersed into rest of the world, east to Asia, Australia, and the Americas, and west to Europe. Exactly when people arrived in each area is an ongoing area of study in anthropology, but scientists agree that they came from Africa.

Answer 5

I think you answered your own questioned... if black people give birth to all sorts of different shade of people, and white people don't... well it would be easy to say black people were first. But anyway the first know human remains were found in Africa... which lends science to believe we were all black at one time, and geographical location and survival of the fittest changed that.

Answer 6

Well, apparently the world ages ago didn't look the same way on the surface as it does now. The countries were more closed together and they later on broke apart to form their current shapes and sizes. They say that people originated from somewhere in Africa and as people migrated, they adapted to the new climates thus beginning new races.

EDIT: Another theory is: All the races were represented by one man and one woman on top of horses. They wore a cloak that matched their skin tones and a bright light said to them in a loud bombing voice "Ready, set, MATE!". They then rode off to different continents and thus beginning humanity. Kinda like power rangers or captain planet.

Answer 7

What makes you claim that? It is wrong.


Meanwhile humanity started as the forests became savanah in central Africa. So I would imagine that as fast as evolution shed our fur it gave us dark skin to better survive under the tropical sun.

As people moved out of Africa and slowly north to the Middle East and on to Europe and Asia they would have evolved paler skins as they received less sunlight and covered more of their skin with clothing for warmth.

Answer 8

Sorry i dont have a link, but science shows that humans probably originated in the Middle East--somewhere around Egypt or Iraq where the continents of Asia and Africa meet.

Answer 9

We came from Africa, and just look at anything that has to do with Egypt/Africa, we were once kings and queens, but
to go back to the beginning Adam had to be white and Eve was black......

Answer 10

All the colors showed up together in one family.
