While I do believe our origins lie in Africa, I think their timing's a bit daft.

Does this mean I qualify for affirmative action, and if you say anything bad about me it becomes a hate crime?

I’m a multiregional man myself...

It seems to me that it would take a miracle for people to originate in an African desert 60,000 years ago and then spread all over the world -- even to Easter Island with basically no technology. And to separate into rather distinct races in such a time. And to live at a stone age level up until just a few thousand years ago and then -- poof! -- for serious civilization to start springing up everywhere in the world simultaneously. It all seems miraculous.

Of course, my worldview allows for the belief in miracles. But the secular humanists? They ought to find such miracles hard to swallow.

I’m still waiting for them to find the remains of the Great Ice Ship that brought my people to earth in the Arctic. There is so much more to discover. I don’t believe that man came from one continent. I look at frogs, they are all over the world, and they are different, but they have the same skeletal structure. Where did the first Adam and Eve frog come from that managed to spread themselves around the world. There is no simple explanation, only beliefs, until all the puzzle pieces are put together.

I don’t tan, period. There’s no way I came from Africa! :D

[elcid1970]

Everything I’ve heard about the Kalahari bush people says that they tend to be ordinary folks who only wish to raise their families and pursue their eons-old lifestyle.

I’ll bet they don’t even know what “Allahu akbar!!” means.

If the African-Africans were the first and only people, who paid taxes for their welfare checks? S/Off

The Gods Must Be Crazy

[oh8eleven]

researchers say the most likely location for the 'cradle of humanity' is the Kalahari desert
And you KNOW why they migrated ...

"You live in a desert! You live in a f*cking desert! Nothing grows out here! Nothing's gonna grow out here! You see this? Huh?
This is sand. Know what it's gonna be a hundred years from now? It's gonna be sand! You live in a f*cking desert!"

[SunkenCiv]

Well put.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

it appears to me that there is a current dogma today which states that H. Sapien came from Africa. It is so embedded in academia that no evidence can shake it, or no idiotic statement supporting it will be questioned.IMHO

[Cacique]

All this sounds like unadulterated pure BS...

[Fiddlstix]

......Kalahari desert region of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. The modern-day click-speaking bushman from the desert show the greatest genetic diversity......

When I read that the first thing I thought of was that great old movie.......

The Gods Must Be Crazy

All Time Great Flick!
Anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out on a good movie.

I posted this to FR years ago but they made JimRob delete it:

African Click Language 'Holds Key To Origins Of Earliest Human Speech'

[wolfcreek]

[wildbill]

As I recall, most theories about animal life start with all life beginning in the seas.

Don’t dolphins communicate in a ‘click’ language? Perhaps we are descended from dolphins or at least are cousins who left the sea in search of....

Next time I see a dolphin, I’m gonna say “Hi cuz,” and see what happens.
