.......or children of African immigrants. It's all just a matter of timing.
I explained this to a guy last night, he still doesn't accept it and believes it's a conspiracy.
Does anyone on here agree with him? |

From my understanding, human life evolved in the Rift Valley. So yup, I agree... |

A simplistic _iew, especially as recent thinking has the Rift Valley hominids as a branch of our species, not the ancestor of our species. There are theories that we actually evolved from hominids based in present day China.
However, British people certainly didn't evolve here, so it depends on what your point was.  |

It's my understanding it's genetic fact. There's a gene that moderate the amount of melamine in skin according to the level of sunshine. It takes generations to work and is active in the mother during pregnancy. Best to goggle it probably! |

Just depends where you count as starting from, humanoids didn't just drop into Africa then we evolved, we go way further back than that to small rat like creatures at the time of the dinosaurs
So to claim a predefined point in history or a certain location as the beginning is temporally and evolutionary incorrect, instead it's better to look at human evolution as a process over tens of millions of years at varying points across the world and even before the continents we recognise today, existed |

"The evolution theory suggest we evolved from primates, "
From what the bouncer of the Stone Roses club in Leeds was saying last night, I think some people have evolved a lot slower than others  |

That's probably being quite mean to primates.  |

It's irrelevant. We all share more genetic characteristics than those we differ from. What makes people different is culture and beliefs. And those have more similarities than people usually recognise. We too often focus on the differences rather than the similarities between us and that is what causes the majority of conflicts. |

What a load of Codswallop (Boris Johnson voice ) ....There were no humans manufactured until 1881 , when the late Dr Frankenstein began his outstanding research ...as for being immigrants of Africa ?...if this is true , just what fuck were the Eskimo's thinking ? |

I don't believe this...
I think we came from the Iraq area.
Science/archaeology seems to suggest this and religious texts including the bible even back this up.
The first known kingdoms did originate from that area and that does seem to suggest that that is where the first people were.
Ofcourse, it may be that there were people who existed somewhere else, however, they have left no scripts or artifacts of any kind which can be dated back to that sort of time period... And Ofcourse, if there's no known evidence, it doesn't bode well for the theory!

Oh well, if its in the bible, who can criticise it? Unless, of course, there's 'no known evidence'. |

That would make sense if everyone who lived on the equator looked the same, but they don't. I don't believe africans have never evolved since the dawn of man while the rest of the human race has? |

Well if that theory about life arriving on Earth as bacteria on asteroids is true, doesn't that mean that every single creature on this planet is an immigrant? |

its not evolved in the terms u might think, its adaption
nobody looks the same, thats just generic stereotyping |

Any theory that relies on humans 'appearing' and then evolving from a single point in history and from a single location is doomed to failure
The thing evolution tells us is that it's a process, over thousands and millions of years, and is a continuum not something that just appeared and stops and starts |

I must admit I'm finding it hard to believe we are all from one place originally say the Rift Valley for instance. I mean how long would it take the gene pool of the "1" humans to be exhausted what with inter breeding and the likes. I do how ever go along with nomadic tribes men meeting up and inter marrying if that makes any sense |

We're all mainly the same, though many of us have some neanderthal genes in our make-up, but not all.
It's likely that one mutation or so provided some competitive advantage, somewhere in the past, and then breeding from that point onwards got us to this point. We'll likely never find the very, very first person who had this mutation, but we will surely get more and more of our evolutionary ancestors uncovered, over time, giving us a more complete picture.
I'm guessing it's Africa, based on my limited knowledge, that we came from, the human tree having started nearly 2.5 million years ago, when continents were similar to now, I think. Roughly, the supercontinent, Pangea, was an order of magnitude bigger than that, at around 2.5 billion years, though it existed for some long time, but when humans weren't likely around at all. |

as I said earlier , children of the cosmos..
and at the heart of that we are all made from processes that define the world we live in, and thats from billions of years ago
I dont think people really grasp the the the way our world(universe) and us recycle
"Since stardust atoms are the heavier elements, the percentage of star mass in our body is much more impressive. Most of the hydrogen in our body floats around in the form of water. The human body is about 60% water and hydrogen only accounts for 11% of that water mass. Even though water consists of two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen, hydrogen has much less mass. We can conclude that 93% of the mass in our body is stardust. Just think, long ago someone may have wished upon a star that you are made of." |

nobody has the facts on what life actually is at all lol
its bound to end up being some quantumn computer traveling back through to time to invent itself so that it(and we) can exist...and in the end(a collapsing universe),all the past present and future will be 'squeezed' into one bit of information(which may be able to escape or survive the crunch),and hey presto the whole thing starts again |

Personally I subscribe to the HHG2G theory, that we are all just a huge experiment to calculate the question behind the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. |

But they are arguing about the intricacies, not about the fact we have a common ancestor with other primates and that we share genetic information with Neanderthals, that's pretty much established. |

Just to offer a little perspective, we call 10,000 years 'ancient' human history, going back to some of the oldest known civilisations and supposedly around the beginning of agriculture. Anyway, take that span of time and multiply it by 100, then multiply THAT by 60 - that gives you 60 million years, when the first APES are said to have appeared. |

I can't remember now. All happened so long ago it's become a blur We are pure alien, then there are people who are interbred with neanderthal and alien and last but not least indigenous earthlings. Lots on the internet about it, I came across it while looking if I can give blood. Interesting read all to do with us not having the rhesus factor in our blood. The things people deduce when they're stumped eh |

I think the reply about alien bloodtypes was pointing out what stupid theories are out there. I've certainly seen that one on t'internets before. As for Iraqi and Nomadic origins, as I said, no scientist now agree that Africa is the de-facto point of origin for the human race. Older fossils have now been found in China and India, so the nomadic theory could hold weight.
Basically, they have found so few fossils that could be considered of human origin they have no way to be certain what our origins are. But as I said, I see no-one arguing that we don't share genetic material with Neanderthals (which is just a few skeletons found in Europe) or apes. Most of the posts on here are discussing what came after them. |

I cant remember the name but there was a programe on and it traced certain people right back ....
and yes, we all come from africans or those close to that gene pool.
its only the fact people moved away and lived in different environments, means a difference in skin colour etc.
We are basically the same ...... |

We may well originate from Iraq but it was the reasoning that there's no written evidence before that got me, modern humans evolved hundreds of thousands of years before we started writing. Nomads, fine! But there still must be a common ancestor, so where did that common ancestor come from? And you don't need fossils to prove that we interbred with Neanderthals, you just need to take a sample of your own blood and you'll find the evidence there. |

The theory is before the Great Pancake divide, where the one Consonant broke apart and drifted off to make the other Consonants the humans that occupied the Great Pancakes floated away with them and adapted to their Environment. We are still adapting, in 1000 years we will all have huge thumbs and be 10 feet tall |

I think we are reading things differently. I haven't read one theory to support that our common ancestor arose in Iraq, but the earliest evidence of writing is from that area. I read the OP as stating that human ancestors arose in Africa, which is also being disputed.
I guess the real problem with some of the responses on this post is working out when humanity actually started. Was it when the mammals first arose? Was it when the apes first arose? Was it when the first vaguely humanoid hominid first arose? Was it when we started farming and settled down? Or was it when we started writing stuff down? It seems that there are plenty of people on here who have differing ideas, and that's cool by me. I enjoy debating it, but (again) as I said, when the experts struggle to define it, then what hope do I have? |

"I have never facepalmed so hard at a forum thread before, some people really have no grasp of evolution and the timescale involved.
Seeing as even the best scientists of the field are still arguing about it, I am not surprised that people on a swinger site might not have all the facts. Pretty much because no-one has all the fact about human evolution.
But they are arguing about the intricacies, not about the fact we have a common ancestor with other primates and that we share genetic information with Neanderthals, that's pretty much established.
Indeed. I don't see anyone disagreeing with that on this post though.
Are we reading the same thread? Someone was saying we all come from Iraq cause there's no earlier written evidence, another talking about nomadic tribes, another about alien blood types!
I think the reply about alien bloodtypes was pointing out what stupid theories are out there. I've certainly seen that one on t'internets before. As for Iraqi and Nomadic origins, as I said, no scientist now agree that Africa is the de-facto point of origin for the human race. Older fossils have now been found in China and India, so the nomadic theory could hold weight.
Basically, they have found so few fossils that could be considered of human origin they have no way to be certain what our origins are. But as I said, I see no-one arguing that we don't share genetic material with Neanderthals (which is just a few skeletons found in Europe) or apes. Most of the posts on here are discussing what came after them.
We may well originate from Iraq but it was the reasoning that there's no written evidence before that got me, modern humans evolved hundreds of thousands of years before we started writing. Nomads, fine! But there still must be a common ancestor, so where did that common ancestor come from? And you don't need fossils to prove that we interbred with Neanderthals, you just need to take a sample of your own blood and you'll find the evidence there.

Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey
By Spencer Wells.
By analyzing DNA from people in all regions of the world, geneticist Spencer Wells has
concluded that all humans alive today are descended from a single man who lived in Africa
around 60,000 years ago. Modern humans, he contends, didn't start their spread across the globe
until after that time. Most archaeologists would say the exodus began 100,000 years ago-a
40,000-year discrepancy. Wells' take on the origins of modern humans and how they came to
populate the rest of the planet is bound to be controversial. His work adds to an already crowded
field of opposing hypotheses proposed by those who seek answers in "stones and bones"-
archaeologists and paleoanthropologists - and those who seek them in our blood-population
geneticists and molecular biologists. |

When I think of "modern humans" I mean sometime after the first hominids but before any kind of agriculture, we were nomadic hunter gatherers for a long long long time and lived alongside other hominid species. Truly modern humans must, by definition, have arisen after all other hominid species became extinct, leaving only homosapiens but as has already been said there was a fair amount of interbreeding. There's a very good episode of SciShow on the facetubes that explains recent discoveries and gives a good timeline of human evolution. |

Anyway shouldn't this thread be called "we are all African emigrants" ? I know I had a little black in me last night, then my wife had, then I had again then he had a little white in him.....well you get the idea! |

"forgive me if I'm wrong...
arent aboriginals(to my understanding they arent just in australia)a more bettergroup of people to study regarding origins?"
Aboriginal simples means from that place for eg, if you are from a certain place you are Aboriginal to that place, just another name for Native I suppose |

think my point was they have a less diluted lineage than almost all other groups |

"The evolution theory suggest we evolved from primates,
From what the bouncer of the Stone Roses club in Leeds was saying last night, I think some people have evolved a lot slower than others "
The stone roses club is full of neandathals, troglodytes, knuckledraggers and other evolutionary rejects that should be grateful they have thumbs...especially my mates...pmsl |

I'm disappointed you feel the need to bring that word into the thread.
Try to raise above it if you can. |

"I woulnd't have a problem with anyone that wanted to believe this, but racists of all colours just might form a linch mob lol"
It will take time but our increased knowledge and the spreading of that knowledge with education will eventually ensure they go the way of the Luddites.
Yes I'm an optimist at heart, but I'm confident everyone on this thread will agree that the human race is a mixed concoction which has migrated to populate the world. Do you think that would have been the case if we had this debate 50 years ago? |

A little off track, but I personally don't believe that the current human race are the first humans to have inhabited this planet. More and more evidence is being uncovered of civilisations that pre-date current thinking on how humans have evolved, and the timelines associated with various cultures. We, officially, are still in the Iron Age. |

Every other week something crops up that contradicts the current evolutionary path.
So it's Africa this week,could be Macclesfield next.
It's not so much about where we came from,more about where we're going.  |
