BOSTON, Mass. (Dec. 21, 2008) Modern humans left Africa over 60,000 years ago in a migration that many believe was responsible for nearly all of the human population that exist outside Africa today.

Alright, so the Obamas did SOME good
See? They were trying to get away from their women even back then!
Well, that explains a lot!
This article must be the precursor in explaining how the gay lifestyle helped to propagate and spread the species.
Makes total sense!

Another reason why boys and girls are different.
Or maybe it was single dudes looking for chicks.
Yet another possiblilty, they were putting the homo in Homo erectus.
Dear, I have a job offer up north wait here, Ill be back soon. ;-)

Sarge, it was really a matter of back child support due that drove them all out. So we can thank the courts for propogating the human species beyond Africa.
Might also explain why women in general were later coodled and not allowed to die (eg. in war).
Then why do I need a ton of this when I go out in the sun?
A mostly female “exodus” would be a more sustainable population. Who knows, maybe they tried and got distracted while asking for directions.
LOL to both of ya!
“Excuse me, which way to the shoe store?”
Wasn’t it Farrakan who said the white race was the result of an African lab experiment gone wrong , or some such insanity ? LOL .
A more reasonable scenario is that the hunters explored outward, came back, a few dragged mates and daughters into the new territory, and the men coming to the new lands competed for the wives and daughters that had been there for years over trying to bring new women to the new land.
Like the one trapper who brings a wife, then has all the new AND old trappers fighting over his daughters - instead of trying to go to the old land, convince women to come, and drag new women in.
Migrations are often caused by bad conditions. If a group of people are migrating because of famine, a disproportionate number of the women are likely to die along the way.
Bad conditions would imply that those left behind were even more negatively selected. In fact, the far higher genetic diversity within Africa suggests that the emigrants were the marginal non-dominants being outcompeted for resources and access to mates.
Any polygamous species always has a “halo” of beta- and gamma-males who can’t challenge the alphas who exist on the margins of the main herd’s habitat.
It stands to reason that at some point a number of these betas, with what few women they had, opted out of competition with the alphas and decided just to strike out into entirely unknown territory.
So, when you get down to it, everyone complaining about exploitation and colonialism is complaining about payback.
If you look far enough back, everyone was a master, and everyone a slave.
