A question about human origins

[slimreaper]

Do you believe it's more likely all human life on this planet originated from one spot in Africa? OR it popped up all over the world and we just haven't found other origin points yet?

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

This is about race, isn't it?

OT: Don't know. I think it's more likely that they'd be from one place.

nah, just a question. Wanted to know if you think we have it all figured out, or if it's more likely life sprung up all over like bacteria would

Humanity branched from two areas. Africa and Europe. All of the other races either come from a direct descendant of these people or they are a mix.

Likely Africa. The change in skin tone is probably due to the environment.

We are all from Africa. <3

I think the text below is pretty accurate. We were taught similar things in school. But even if it is not correct, I wouldn't have a problem with that. There are more important things than the origin of our species.

By the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period (50,000 BP[before present]), full behavioral modernity, including language, music and other cultural universals had developed. As modern humans spread out from Africa they encountered other hominids such as Homo neanderthalensis and the so-called Denisovans. The nature of interaction between early humans and these sister species has been a long-standing source of controversy, the question being whether humans replaced these earlier species or whether they were in fact similar enough to interbreed, in which case these earlier populations may have contributed genetic material to modern humans. Recent studies of the human and Neanderthal genomes suggest gene flow between archaic Homo sapiens and Neanderthals and Denisovans. In March 2016, studies were published that suggest that modern humans bred with hominins, including Denisovans and Neanderthals, on multiple occasions.

This dispersal out of Africa is estimated to have begun about 70,000 years BP from Northeast Africa. Current evidence suggests that there was only one such dispersal and that it only involved a few hundred individuals. The vast majority of humans stayed in Africa and adapted to a diverse array of environments. Modern humans subsequently spread globally, replacing earlier hominins (either through competition or hybridization). They inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 years BP, and the Americas at least 14,500 years BP.

Australian Aboriginals are black though.

Australian Aboriginals are black though.

Black in terms of skin color but not in everything else, for example some black people in Africa have more in common genetically with Caucasians than Aboriginals from Australia.

Two days ago wikipedia said Corey Seagar(third baseman for the seattle mariners) was the owner of the Texas Rangers

stop making this about race.

 

[LordRaikage]

All from Africa.

So OP you can Stop Hating on Africans Because your Ancestors were African too.

Oh, come on, isn't that why you made the thread?

Depends on how much evolution can explain honestly. It would make since that people started evolving from primeapes in different parts of the world at different times.

But so far evidence says the first evolution took place in Africa. The earliest known human fossils so far come entirely from Africa. So if it was a case of evolution, migration, then reproduction, then yea we all probably came from Africa.

Also, and I'm not totally sure, but I believe there are like little to know primates in Europe, or even North America for that matter. But I don't if that was true millions of years ago. But I think so far it's understood that Africa, and I think Asia too, had the most monkeys so evolution puts point of origin most likely in those areas if anything

Wow Jack! That's gif quite racist.

Nah, I don't need to prove my ancestors didn't come from Africa. I also have Neanderthal DNA that African's don't have.

Even so, evolution has already created differences in us, so the argument that there are no races and we're all africans may have been true, but no longer is.

But according to a study I posted earlier, The tools found in Australia were far more primitive than the ones found in Africa.

That can only mean two things... Either the africans sailed to Australia and forgot how they made their tools, or the humans came out of Australia and developed.



Also dna suggests life starting in two different spots

“the finding that the Europeoid haplogroups did not descend from “African” haplogroups A or B is supported by the fact that bearers of the Europeoid, as well as all non-African groups do not carry either SNI’s M91, P97, M31, P82, M23, M114, P262 …”

There are 11 more entries in this list of non-starters, all missing from both Europeoids and “all non-African groups,” which obviously includes the Original Australians. With the Original people exhibiting an intense clustering into two groups, haplogroups not present in any African genes and an absence of dozens of African genetic markers, it is very difficult nigh on impossible to sustain any link between Africa and Australia."
