Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa, scientists find

T he history of human evolution has been rewritten after scientists discovered that Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa. 

Currently, most experts believe that our human lineage split from apes around seven million years ago in central Africa, where hominids remained for the next five million years before venturing further afield.

But two fossils of an ape-like creature which had human-like teeth have been found in Bulgaria and Greece, dating to 7.2 million years ago.

The discovery of the creature, named Graecopithecus freybergi, and nicknameded ‘El Graeco' by scientists, proves our ancestors were already starting to evolve in Europe 200,000 years before the earliest African hominid.

"Sub saharan africans had no math or written language."

Nothing much has changed, even after migrating to other continents and creating similar descendants...

What kind of dumb people invent airplanes and then let some other race come along, steal all their technology, and take complete credit for it? I wouldn’t brag about it if I were them.

That can be seen in negative blood types, who are missing the rhesus influence.

Certainly true.

After the eruption of supervolcano Toba 75,000 years ago, scientists estimate worldwide population fell to less than 5000.

And I have heard that at the peak of the last ice age, 15000-20000 years ago, the population amounted to at the most 15,000.

Just one group of atheist evolutionists arguing with another group of atheist evolutionists. Africa vs. Europe, Karl Marx vs. Ayn Rand.

And there are people who call themselves "conservatives" who will act as if this matters.
