That’s what most of us were taught in school along with the idea that humans are from different races. I was always skeptical about that. -@ibelievein logic
I never accepted a thing I was taught in school except for math, physics, chemistry, and biology. Everything else was studied just for passing exams in order to get out of school.
I was also very skeptical of the emergence of humans from multiple origins. The single origin explanation with migration much earlier than thought is much simpler and easier to imagine especially with the very low probability of finding ancient remains after so much change in climate, geology and ocean levels.
What’s the point of tracing the origin of anything? Is any such so-called knowledge of any practical use? Ocean levels are rising. How could they tell? And when you consider their claim that the moon also has an effect on the oceans, it hard not to get skeptical.
Something like 90% of all humans today live within 100 miles of a coast. And that is with our modern ability to travel and communicate. We have not had the ability to search for early human remains within a reasonable travel distance for early humans from ancient shores, what we call the continental shelf today. We can’t even determine with accuracy the recent migration into North America.
Kon-tiki. I remember having to read that in school. What a waste of life. Reading the book was bad enough. What kind of idiot would build a raft, ride it out to sea and risk his life drifting across an ocean to prove a point? What has all that got to do with education anyway?
I find it easier to accept that Neanderthals and others came after the initial migration out of Africa and that their distinct features probably resulted from a relatively small breeding population and mutations such as Albinism, Downs and possibly others. I have not heard any reason why migration was all one way or that it was actually all one way. I think the idea that we can determine skin color of these peoples from DNA is probably wrong. At best it seems like comparing them to modern people, who have their skin color by means of inherited adaptive melanism. To me, this means their original or ancestral skin color was light or what we call “white”.
All the comparing of imagined past people and modern people is to create a narrative to shore up the belief in evolution. The real kicker comes when they tie it all to critical race theory. It’s really mind-numbing.
The article talks about “gene drift” calling it a random process. Horse feathers. There is no such thing as “random”. It also claims long thin noses developed in cold climates. More feathers. Go to Alaska; look at the native people.
Native Alaskan noses don't differ much from any other non-tropical people.

The ones I saw when I was there didn't look long or thin to me. The Inuit and Athabascan people did look different, but there was no way for me to tell anything about the ancestry of the people I met. The people I did meet seemed like good people and were very laid back. I think their attitude may have something to do with the weather; you are thankful just to have survived it. 35 below makes one realize how fragile we are.
