Did we all come from Africa?

    Many historians tell us that that's where we all come from.
    Is it that sensible that there were no humans besides those on that limited piece of land?
    No one has clear theories on the "big bang" and how exactly the "continents'' were before as we know it now.

    They started there but migrated outward. There might have been many migrations out and back.

    And anthropologists, and geneticists, and archaeologists.

    Yes. Modern humans and modern apes both evolved from earlier apes, in Africa. The first modern human had to pop up somewhere where there was an existing ancestor species - and that was in Africa.

    Species don't just appear from nowhere.

    Sorry, but that's completely wrong.

    There are very good theories about the big bang and plate tectonics.

    Where are the oldest hominid fossils found?

    They're not anywhere as ubiquitous as fossilized fish scales -- such as are found at the summit of Mt. Everest.

    The apes and the homo X comes from same ancestor but not necessary we descended from ape., unless you know some thing different.

    yeah man, man just popped up dont you know? they (humans) sprouted up from little monkey sprouts.

    unfortunately man has stopped evolving, or so it seems. evolution is so intelligent, it knew humans would not need all that hair and that humans would much rather wear fashionable clothing. basically what i am saying is it is all luck to be born human and not ape, maybe it is fate.

    i still often wonder why early man would decide to cover their willy's, while late apes leave thiers hanging out.

    Do we know how thick is the soil from the glacier drift brought onto Europe in the first
    20000 years of ice melting.

    The part of Africa ( Ethiopia Kenya ) were they ever under ice , if not so they never experienced soil movement like glaciers drift.

    Humans are not one species, humans are a mixture of pre-human species, like neanderthal for example, humans have neanderthal genes.

    It's also a good possibility, that whatever humans evolved from, such as neanderthal, at some point resided in Africa. However modern humans and pre-humans are no longer the same species, as pre-humans are what we'd consider neanderthal, and thats what we evolved from, either by the homosapian and neanderthal mating with each other, or neanderthal directly evolving from homosapian, our oldest ancestor known is neanderthal.

    The other species of humans went extinct long before ours came into existance.

    Man has less hair because man found hairless females more attractive and stopped having sex with hairy females. Eventually as a result of these mating practices, man had less hair.

    But think of it this way, man also found neanderthal to be more attractive, and had sex with her, and the result, is what we have now. All evolution is, is coordinated fucking. That's Darwins theory. His theory basically says, whoever has sex the most often, evolves the fastest. So in the peak of neanderthal evolution, man and woman would have sex with thousands of people in a lifetime. Now the average man and woman is lucky to have sex with a dozen. Imagine being a neanderthal with 1000 wives, in those days the bully often had 1000 wives. Of course the bully had a very short lifespan and likely died before reaching maturity, but when you have 1000 wives, of course you have a lot of kids.

    It is HIGHLY unlikely primitive man have ever had sex thousands of times over.

    These aren't little Gene Simmonses.

    Considering communities were mostly small and widely spread out and people were exchanged, at times, for pretty much monogamous (or polygamous) relationships, chances are you might have had sex as a woman with one or two men, and as a man maybe with three or four women.

    Thanks, i figure that part out. 1000 wives does not seem feasible but if its true then evolution really sucks. What i am referring to are changes of monumental proportion and how species entirely unique have absolutely no traces or similarities to their (a) previous state.

    What would have stopped a primitive from having sex thousands of times? And what better strategy could they have had at this time? Monogamy did not exist.

    Like I said, big changes in evolution requires LOTS of sex, a lot more sex is required to evolve in a signifigant way. So it's safe to assume our ancestors had sex 5-10 times a day, with random partners.

    Over time they developed a strategy of having sex with the most physically attractive partners.

    Over greater periods of time they had sex with the smartest most intelligent partners.

    So evolution is based on how humans have sex, and if humans are stupid it's because stupid humans have more sex and make more children.

    If that were true, there would be no life forms that don't reproduce sexually, but there are.
