The first human to walk the earth was of ******* origin.Is that correct.?

Question

Did other races evolve from africans?

Answer 1

• We humans did start out in Africa, and we were all black.

The out of Africa migration was done during the first half of the Pleistrocence period. It was a time of ice ages, when sea levels dropped significantly and there was increased rainfall in many regions. At the same time Homo erectus was making stone tools and was able to use fire. The question of his being able to create fire has not yet been answered. Given the favorable climate and the increased skills to control his environment, Homo erectus spread out of Africa.

As for skin color:

"In their analysis of human evolutionary history, Jablonski and Chaplin concluded that modern humans most likely evolved in the tropics, where they were exposed to high UV levels. But as they moved into regions away from the equator, where UV levels are lower, humans became fairer so as to allow enough UV radiation to penetrate their skin and produce vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," also obtained from eating fish and marine mammals. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy blood levels of calcium and phosphorous, and thus promoting bone growth.

Skin color, according to Jablonski and Chaplin, basically becomes a balancing act between the evolutionary demands of photo-protection and the need to create vitamin D in the skin.

One of the important implications of Jablonski and Chaplin's work is that it underlines the concept of race as purely a social construct, with no scientific grounds. DNA research has shown that genetically all humans, regardless of skin color and other surface distinctions, are basically the same. In an April 2001 article titled, "The Genetic Archaeology of Race," published in the Atlantic Monthly, Steve Olson writes "the genetic variants affecting skin color and facial features are essentially meaningless —they probably involve a few hundred of the billions of nucleotides in a person's DNA. Yet societies have built elaborate systems of privilege and control on these insignificant genetic differences."

"Before the mass global migrations of people during the last 500 years, dark skin color was mostly concentrated in the southern hemisphere near the equator and light color progressively increased further away, as illustrated in the map below. In fact, the majority of dark pigmented people lived within 20° of the equator. Most of the lighter pigmented people lived in the northern hemisphere north of 20° latitude."

Answer 2

yes, African.  Thats the prevailing theory.

Answer 3

WHY are there stars there?

Answer 4

There are no such thing as different human races. There is just one human race.

There is a good article here about the human race and how the different groupings arose.

The origin of the people groups is Babel which was in the Middle East.

Answer 5

They didn't evolve from modern Africans but it is likely that modern humans came from populations that originated in Africa.

Answer 6

Bravozulu is correct.  Just remember that Africans came from Africans too, assuming the out of Africa theory is correct.

Answer 7

There is also an out of Asia theory.

Answer 8

It is useless to say people came from one skin color or the other because that is impossible to prove. It would all depend on when humans lost their protective hair, hair and skin color do not remain only bones. If one has to assume then some color of tan makes sense.

"Jablonski and Chaplin note that there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the human ancestors six million years ago had a skin tone different from the skin tone of today's chimpanzees—namely light-skinned under black hair."

People develop differing features depending on differing factors of where they live such as type food and amount of sun even types of activities needed can make a difference.

Today with people able to move all over the world we will see much more variety until the mix becomes so common that people will become more or less alike. Nature, never the less, will continue to create variety because that is what it does.  

Humans most likely did come from Africa or somewhere close.  There have been a large number of Homo Erectus found in Asia, so that has some possibilities, also.
