There are lots of great places.Start with DNA, by tracing mitochondrial DNA.You can pretty much see how humans expanded around the globe.For instance who found North America.Where did the original Australians come from?A good book is The Five Sisters I forget the author.In it you can see how all humans can be traced back to one female in Africa.For crying out loud get this question out of this category.There's got to be way better places to ask it.This is Alternative Science you want the real thing.
