Men ARE Gods in their own right, being created in the image of God so if you don't believe in a higher power or force of some type or another then you don't believe in yourself, simple as. That is why you are always so angry and snarky. You don't even know yourselves. Seriously. I feel for your poor poor parents having to pretend to listen to you all the time.

The overwhelming consensus in the scientific community supports the theory that humans evolved in Africa.

Numerous lines of evidence, including fossil discoveries, genetic data, and archaeological findings, point to Africa as the origin of our species, Homo sapiens.

Here's a breakdown of the key evidence:

>1. Fossil Evidence:

Oldest Homo sapiens fossils:
The oldest fossils definitively identified as Homo sapiens have been found in Africa, with some dating back as far as 300,000 years ago.

Geographic distribution:
Fossils of early humans (hominins) from the period between 6 and 2 million years ago are exclusively found in Africa.

Jebel Irhoud fossils:
Finds in Morocco, like those at Jebel Irhoud, show early Homo sapiens with both modern and archaic features, suggesting a transitional phase within Africa.

East Africa's Rift Valley:
The Rift Valley in East Africa is particularly rich in hominin fossils, making it a significant area for understanding human evolution.

>2. Genetic Evidence:

Mitochondrial Eve:
Genetic studies, including the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), have traced the ancestry of all modern humans back to a single woman who lived in Africa roughly 200,000 years ago, according to Your Genome.

Y-chromosome Adam:
Similarly, the Y chromosome, passed down through the male line, links all modern men to a common ancestor who lived in Africa.

Genetic diversity:
Africa exhibits the highest level of human genetic diversity, which is expected if it's the origin of our species and has had the longest time to accumulate genetic variation.

Phylogenetic trees:
Genetic analyses, including the construction of phylogenetic trees, consistently show that all human populations can be traced back to an ancestral population in Africa.

>3. Archaeological Evidence:

Early stone tools:
The oldest stone tools, including those created using prepared core technologies, are found in Africa.

Evidence of early innovation:
Archaeological sites in Africa, like those in Olorgesailie, Kenya, and Ga-Mohana Hill, South Africa, show evidence of early humans engaging in activities like trading, using pigments, and manufacturing more sophisticated tools.

Early symbolic behavior:
Discoveries of ochre (a pigment) and ostrich eggshells at sites like Ga-Mohana Hill suggest symbolic behavior and complex thought processes among early humans.

>4. The Out of Africa Theory:

Early migration:
The "Out of Africa" model proposes that modern humans evolved in Africa and then migrated out to populate the rest of the world.

Recent migration:
The most significant migration out of Africa is thought to have occurred roughly 70,000-50,000 years ago.

In summary, the wealth of evidence from fossils, genetics, and archaeology, combined with the "Out of Africa" model, strongly supports the conclusion that humans first evolved in Africa.

This doesn’t affect you in any way

The out of africa theory was spread in the 70s and they already knew it was false then, they just wanted more funding.

Humanity almost certainly started in the balkans. We have found even earlier humans in Southern france.

In summary, the wealth of evidence from fossils, genetics, and archaeology, debunk the "Out of Africa" model, strongly supports the conclusion that humans first evolved in Europe.
