Africa is the origin of the human race. Genetic studies confirm that humans evolved in Africa and then migrated through the Middle East, Europe and Asia to reach the Pacific and the Americas. Lucy (one of the best preserved human remnants) was dated as over 3 million years ago. This is relevant for those of African & non-African descent to smash attempts to belittle the history, contribution & importance of Africans & the diaspora. It is also shines a light on systematic white supremacist schemes in how history is taught, laws are made and how society has been conditioned to see Africa as insignificant.
For many years now there has been the theory that the first modern humans originated in Africa. Now a massive scientific study of human genetic diversity reveals that the theories are true.
Researchers compared 650,000 genetic markers in nearly a thousand individuals from 51 populations around the globe—an unprecedented level of detail for a human genetic study.
Three fossilized skulls unearthed in Ethiopia are said by scientists to be among the most important discoveries ever made in the search for the origin of humans.
The crania of two adults and a child, all dated to be around 160,000 years old, were pulled out of sediments near a village called Herto in the Afar region in the east of the country.
Researchers have produced new DNA evidence that almost certainly confirms the theory that all modern humans have a common ancestry. The genetic survey, produced by a collaborative team led by scholars at Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Universities, shows that Australia's aboriginal population sprang from the same tiny group of colonists, along with their New Guinean neighbours.

Africa, and especially South Africa is the primary center for the early development of human behavior. The search for the origin of modern human behavior and technological advancement among our ancestors in southern Africa some 70,000 years ago has taken a step closer to firmly establishing this fact.
Let's start at the beginning.
