First Human Ancestor Came from Europe Not Africa, 7.2 Million-year-old Fossils Indicate

"The first hominin species, a line that eventually leads to humans, may have emerged in Europe 7.2 million years ago and not Africa—the most widely accepted starting point for our ancestors."

"An international team of scientists has presented two studies that suggest the divergence point between chimpanzees and humans took place in the Eastern Mediterranean rather than East Africa."

"Previously, scientists had thought hominins and chimps split between seven and five million years ago, with the first in the hominin line emerging in Africa. But these fossils, scientists say, tell a different story about the onset of human evolution."

"This raises the possibility that the fossils represent the oldest hominin ever discovered and that the “major splits in the hominid family occurred outside Africa"

"Cole says that the studies show that there was a connected landmass between Africa and Europe and that the desert between them created a barrier, dividing populations and causing a new species to emerge."

“We not only provide the advanced hominin-like features of Graeocopithecus and a very exact age, we importantly provide a totally new mechanism explaining the split of chimps and humans — we are calling it 'North Side Story'.” She says the barrier the desert would have created would have separated populations for at least 500 to 700,000 years."

I told you! Blacks have DIFFERENT ancestors than we have. HUMANS ALL have Neanderthal DNA because THEY are a part of our ancestry. The Neanderthals died out AND the "pure" "Humans" died out too...ONLY the HYBRIDS survived. Modern humans ARE the "human/Neanderthal" hybrids.

Blacks have a different genetic heritage...they are another line off the archaic "human" line with different ancestors.

Line up ALL the people and races from all over the world. They all look basically the same...EXCEPT black people...they look AND smell completely different than the rest of us. They can be easily picked out of a crowd WITH or WITHOUT even seeing them.

They are not us.

Come on you chickens...you must have an opinion...the whole "we're all from Africa" lie has been shot down.

HUMANS are from Europe. HUMANS are an ancient proto-human and a Neanderthal hybrid. Blacks are from a different family tree, they lack the Neanderthal ancestor.

Interesting article. Suggest you read it again, ALL of it, carefully. I'll go with the bidirectional theory. It is certainly plausible. And nowhere is there any mention that humans of different skin colors, backgrounds, etc. are even remotely different species.

Anthropology is such an exact science you know. Scientist discover an artifact and suddenly it all comes together until it doesn't . Millions of years have passed countless events and species have come and gone unnoticed.

Dinosaurs are/were the catalyst for oil until some scientist disagreed.

Evolution is proven until it is not and some scientist say evolution does not explain many things.

Some wonder if aliens artificially inseminated a lower forms here?

Scientist spend their entire lives in search of such questions and it must be frustrating for them to not have answers. So are they driven by hubris, fear that some other scientist will gain credit for their discovery?

Perhaps it is as the bible tells us that we were made in the image and likeness of GOD

Succinctly stated we are all guessing.

Really? This is what's important to you? We are all here now what's the difference where we all came from?

I always suspected I was not from Africa, my birth certificate states I was born in North America.

Although, I guess the same guy that made up Obamma's birth certificate could have made up mine!

It does not matter where we are from, it's our actions that count.

However, people with different DNA act differently partially as a result of their DNA, just as surely as they are more or less prone to a disease due to their DNA.

Undesirable personality traits: risk-taking, violence, aggression, gambling, addiction and criminal behavior have DNA correlations, it's fact.

This research of behavior based on DNA is ignored and shunned as being racist even though it is just science.

This research is perhaps the only way to save mankind in the long run. Look at the direction we are going. As weapons of mass destruction become cheaper and better, the world is doomed unless science does something to save it.

If this nonsense was even partially true, how does one explain, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, Hermna Cain, Alan Keyes, Larry Elder, J.C. Watts, Lynn Swan, Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell, Edward Brooke, Roy Innis, ***** Innis, and the millions of other highly intelligent, conservative and accomplished African Americans?

MILLIONS? I don't think so. You listed the black 1%...what about the OTHER 99% that live in the inner cities, the "black" part of town? The residents of MLK Blvd.

I could list the top smartest/successful dozen people here in the villages and they'd blow each of those away. Those are ALL political people. WHERE are the inventors? The TRUE geniuses? The Einsteins? Newtons? Gates? Buffett? JP Morgan? Rothchild? The TOP in their field?

Show me the black villages...the black MIT...ANYWHERE mostly black that doesn't suck.

You want to compare the top 1% of whites to the top 1% of blacks? I don't think you'll find many blacks...outside sports...who make the top half of any list of MOST successful people.

You compare apples to oranges when you compare blacks to other races...we come from different stock...can't you tell by LOOKING? ALL the other races look somewhat alike...there's not THAT much difference between whites and asians or whites and American indians...that's why Hispanics have always been classified as white. There is a HUGE different between "us" and the blacks though. They stand out like a sore thumb...like a different species...like a Pomeranian would in a group of wolves. A puma among tabbies.

We are NOT the same and acting like we are IS destroying the country.

Because where we came from makes us different.

An Asian elephant is different than a African elephant...is it not? They're both elephants...only one is domesticated and the other can't be. Indian elephants are used for work...African elephants are wild and dangerous.

Think of it the same way with the races...the Africans are wild and dangerous. The blacks you know aren't the 99%...you don't know the 99% because they don't want to know you. Same with Muslims...the 1% are the ones who seem "just like us"...the other 99% would like to see you gone.

Don't be fooled by the propaganda...see for yourself. Visit MLK Blvd and see for yourself what the 99% are like. That IS the 99%...the 99% live in the inner city slums, in the projects, in the black part of any small town. Shunned and isolated because they are NOT like us...they're NOT as smart or capable. Remember the slaves we got were too stupid to not be enslaved! We got the BOTTOM 1% of the African population as slaves. Those are our blacks' heritage...people too stupid to not be caught as slaves.

I do not believe you are ever going to get all people on this forum, let alone the world to agree or treat each other as equals.

whether its a native tribe, a corporation, a government some people believe and behave as elitist, etc. Some believe others ought to be exterminated, brought under slavery, etc. It has been that way since the beginning of time and it will be that way until the end of time.

Look at the so called socialist or communist nations. If every one is equal why do they have leaders who live much better than they do In China, government officials live a life of luxury and their offspring are referred to as Princelings.

People have suffered because of their race, religion, their place on a societal hierarchy.

At every level or station of life people compete in one way or another to get the upper hand driven by greed, fear, jealousy. envy

So it seems to me less important as to who or whom the first human ancestors were, the race, etc. and more important as to where they are going and in what manner do they behave to get there.

Humans are from europe. Humans are an ancient proto-human and a neanderthal hybrid. Blacks are from a different family tree, they lack the neanderthal ancestor.

what the hell difference does it make.

Far as skin color. What we call black is not black it is EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR AS WHAT WE CALL WHITE.

The difference is not the color but the density of the color.

The earth is no longer flat. The sun no longer revolves around the earth AND THEY NO LONGER SEPARATE OUT BLACK BLOOD FROM WHITE. YOU should really request white blood only.

Regardless of how many there are, if they are inferior because of their race, how can one explain the very intelligent blacks and those that have had high levels of achievement.

I would still say that there are millions in the world and I don't know if the 1-99% ratio that you propose is anywhere near correct.

I would suggest that there are many factors that have caused some minorities to to under achieve, but I don't believe that they are less than human. What a ridiculous concept.

How about Asians? Are they in the same category as Blacks and Hispanics?

I think that where we all are in life is due more to culture than anything else. Certainly, there is no proof whatsoever that DNA has any kind of influence.

Can you cite one study that backs up any of your outrageous claims?
