I saw something on TV a couple weeks ago about someone going around the world and taking DNA samples from people to trace human migration patterns around the world. Non-African humans today are decendent from humans that migrated out of Africa about 50,000 years ago.

National Geographic has something about it here:



What Genes and Fossils Tell Us

Scientists have long held that modern humans originated in Africa because that's where they've found the oldest bones. Geneticists have come to the same conclusion by looking at Africa's vast genetic diversity, which could only have arisen as DNA mutated over millennia. There's less consensus about the routes our ancestors took in their journey out of Africa and around the planet. Early migrations stalled but left behind evidence such as a human skull from 92,000 years ago at Qafzeh, Israel. Those people may have taken a northern route through the Nile Valley into the Middle East. But other emigrants who left Africa tens of thousands of years later could also have taken a different route: across the southern end of the Red Sea. Scientists say these more recent wanderers gave rise to the 5.5 billion humans living outside Africa today. "I think the broad human prehistoric framework is in place," says geneticist Peter Forster of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in Cambridge, England, "and we are now fitting in the details."

1. African Cradle
Most paleoanthropologists and geneticists agree that modern humans arose some 200,000 years ago in Africa. The earliest modern human fossils were found in Omo Kibish, Ethiopia. Sites in Israel hold the earliest evidence of modern humans outside Africa, but that group went no farther, dying out about 90,000 years ago.

2. Out of Africa
Genetic data show that a small group of modern humans left Africa for good 70,000 to 50,000 years ago and eventually replaced all earlier types of humans, such as Neandertals. All non-Africans are the descendants of these travelers, who may have migrated around the top of the Red Sea or across its narrow southern opening.

3. The First Australians
Discoveries at two ancient sites—artifacts from Malakunanja and fossils from Lake Mungo—indicated that modern humans followed a coastal route along southern Asia and reached Australia nearly 50,000 years ago. Their descendants, Australian Aborigines, remained genetically isolated on that island continent until recently.

4. Early Europeans
Paleoanthropologists long thought that the peopling of Europe followed a route from North Africa through the Levant. But genetic data show that the DNA of today's western Eurasians resembles that of people in India. It's possible that an inland migration from Asia seeded Europe between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago.

5. Populating Asia
Around 40,000 years ago, humans pushed into Central Asia and arrived on the grassy steppes north of the Himalaya. At the same time, they traveled through Southeast Asia and China, eventually reaching Japan and Siberia. Genetic clues indicate that humans in northern Asia eventually migrated to the Americas.

6. Into the New World
Exactly when the first people arrived in the Americas is still hotly debated. Genetic evidence suggests it was between 20,000 and 15,000 years ago, when sea levels were low and land connected Siberia to Alaska. Ice sheets would have covered the interior of North America, forcing the new arrivals to travel down the west coast.

Proof the unholy Quran is NOT from God/Allah and was put together by Arab gangsters using schizophrenic rants from Arab mental patients.


Quran says Noah lived 950 years:

Quran 29:14:

[Arjuna Haridas]

Srry for bumping this, but I want to say that the Noah's Ark story probably came from Hinduism. There's some proof that Vedic people occupied the Arabian peninsula (that includes Biblical lands). There was a legend among the Vedic people that there was a big flood in which only one man (Manu) survived. The flood was VERY similar to Noah's flood.

Now and then I see things on TV about the Noah's Ark myth. They say there's usually flood stories in every society. The last thing I saw about Noah's Ark was something about the Gilgamesh story in ancient Sumeria. They had a scientist on the program, too, that discussed satellite images of the Persian Gulf area and said you can see evidence of two more rivers (dried up now) besides the Euphredes and Tigres (from what I remember). The book of Genesis mentions four rivers coming together in Eden and it appears there may have been four rivers 6,000 years ago in the area in Sumeria that appears to be refered to as the place where Eden was. It may be under water in the Persian Gulf now or further north in Iraq. There's evidence the Persian Gulf was just a river 6,000 years ago and flooded later as the water level increased.

I saw something in the news before about how Saddam Hussein drained an area in Iraq that the Shiites considered to be the place where Eden was. There's a lot of links related to this.
