The Great Human
Migration
This
article "The Great Human Migration" was written by Guy Gugliotta. In
this article, it describes the migration of people from Africa to other places,
the formation of different human species, the changing of the natural
environment and the onset of human superiority on earth. Gugliotta claims that
people migrated from the African continent some 80,000 years ago.
Gugliotta
talks about the differences between Neandertals and Modern Homo Sapiens.
Gugliotta mentions that the skulls of Neandertals and A.M.H.S. are different
from each other. He also mentions that their weapons and tools are very
different. Neanderthals also mention that they buried their dead, made
ornaments and drew cave paintings. In the 20th century, two hypotheses were put
forward in the study of human roots. The first is that a human ancestor species
is scattered all over the world and that modern man evolved from this species. The
non-African theory is that the human ancestor species evolved in the region
they lived before migrating out of Africa. DNA studies of people have been
done. Scientists show that a shorter DNA strand found in mitochondria is
hereditary only from the mother. Scientists say that every human being studied
from about 200,000 years to the present day has seen hereditary source of the
same woman. This is the woman today called "Eve". However, scientists
call it our last common ancestor.
Gugliotta
claims that migration to Europe is between 35,000 and 40,000 years. There are
chapters in human history that have too many gaps. It's really hard for us to
know exactly what these are. However, no matter how many discoveries and
investigations have been made about the division of humans into species and
sections, it is probably the only thing that seems to be that we all come from
Africa.
