It is official, we are all, deep down, the sons and daughters of Africa. More exciting stuff at the bottom. From Discovery News:
DNA Confirms We’re Out of Africa
A new genetic analysis of people from around the world added further confirmation to the African origin of humans.
Scientists have long believed that modern humans first developed in Africa and spread from there to populate the rest of the world, a theory strongly supported by the new analysis, the researchers said.
In addition, they noted that residents of the Middle East can trace their ancestry to both Africa and Europe, which they said is logical since the region formed a bridge for movement back and forth between the areas.
The italicized bit in the passage is even more interesting than the confirmation that we are all Africans. It means that I am Africa, and Europe, and Asia –all wrapped up in a petite package called Tololy.
Why?
Because my father is Arab, and as such he is Middle Eastern and by extension European and African, and my mother is Circassian and as such is Eurasian. The final product of this human mix of geography is me.
You can call me Mother Earth now.
All hail mother earth … and worshipping preferences?</p>
<p>By the way, this is good news. It confirms the older theory based on fossil records of human skulls. It also indicates that the modern humans have managed to overcome the previous version (which mostly roamed Europe around 40 thousand years ago). Even though they are thought to be stronger physically. Yep, we drove them to extinction</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing</p>
Naa u aint mother earth..ur missing some continents..ur just a fakhfakhina cocktail (with some honey at bottom of glass).
correction: <br />Qwaider if you are referring to neandrethals they went exinct between 30 and 50 thousand years ago … so mostly roamed europe around 40,000 sounds incorrect that would be around 150,000. <br />previous version… indicates decendency and there is no proof of that they are a dead branch in the tree of life and they are an alternative version not a previous one .<br />ENJOY!<br />
<p>Bambam, It’s all a bunch of approximations anyway. If can you provide me with accurate carbon dating material to back up your claim I would take your words seriously otherwise just zoom along. Around 40k years ago the friction between the two species was going on and and apparently our ancestors won</p>
<p>And by your own words, they went extinct between 50 and 30 thousand years ago, that’s 20 thousand years man .. enough to build the human civilization twice!</p>
