Question

The first humans on earth were African, right?

Answer 1

NO ........Adam And Eve werent Afircan

Answer 2

Only one thing wrong with that,  Africa as we know it did not exist over a million years ago.  The name itself is only about 5000 years old.  Yes, current theory is that humanity first arose in Africa.

Answer 3

yes, through the human genome project that the national geographic is part of (you can find this info on their web site and participate if you want) they have traced homo sapien existance to the west and southwest of Africa.  

Answer 4

Most archaeologists think that Homo sapiens  first lived in Africa, and that our direct ancestor was Homo habilis (“handy man”), who evolved about 2.5 million years ago. But some believe our ancestor was Homo ergaster (“work man”), who developed around 1.9 million years ago and settled in different parts of the world.

Answer 5

umm...i guess so..but (in my religion)..adam and eve were the first humans..and i don't think they were african..they could have been anything..so im not sure..

Answer 6

The first humans according to the Bible were in Ethiopia that is in Africa, so I believe so.

Answer 7

Well, the term "African" refers to modern designations. The "out of

Africa" theory seems to be the one most consistent with the observations.
