In short, we share close genetic relationship with the great apes of Africa, the oldest human skeletons have been found in Africa, and the oldest evidences of human culture, such as poison arrows for hunting, have been found in Africa.
Most evidence shows that the very first humans lived in Africa. They soon spreed around to the world not long after that
The fossil evidence clearly shows that man's ancestors evolved in Africa and that man first appeared in africa, spreading across the world from there (as supported by contemporary genetic studies). Thus Africa is the original home (the cradle) of humankind.
The oldest capital city in the Middle East is Damascus, Syria. Evidence shows that humans first settled in Damascus 4,000 years ago. Damascus claims to be the world's oldest city, but evidence from Jericho, Israel shows that humans first settled in Jericho 11,000 years ago.
Fossil evidence shows that Homo sapiens first appeared about 200,000 years ago, in East Africa.
* Because it shows that species can change over time
they is no record of the first humans, however the evidents points and shows that the first humans on the planet earth was the blackman and blackwoman......
The Out of Africa theory suggests that Homo erectus evolved into modern humans in Africa and then migrated to populate the rest of the world. This theory is supported by genetic and fossil evidence that shows a single African origin for modern Homo sapiens.
Archaeological evidence from the Ivory Coast in western Africa shows that chimpanzees lived there 4,300 years ago.
To date, fossil evidence shows that humans existed in the Western Hemisphere as far back as 10,000 BC BCE. There is also evidence of tools that also match the fossil remains.
Genetic evidence, specifically DNA analysis, has shown that chimpanzees share approximately 98% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relatives. Additionally, similarities in behavior, social structures, and anatomy between humans and chimpanzees further support this close evolutionary relationship.
Jews believe, like Christians, that humans were created by God on the 'Sixth Day' of Creation. Estimates place Creation at a little over 6000 years ago. However, this is widely contested, as evidence shows that humans existed before this time. Furthermore, other evidence shows that humans were not created, but evolved from Simians. Other evidence shows that the Earth is not the centre of the universe, contesting the idea that God made us special. Even still, the age of the Earth is estimated at 5.5 billion years, not 6000. Then consider that the universe is estimated at 14 billion years old, again a little beyond the 6000 estimate. Therefore, the fact that humans were made at all is hugely contested. Jews may accept these 'facts', but many will still choose to believe that humans were created a little over 6000 years ago by God.
Genetic studies have shown that modern humans share a common African ancestry and have traced human migration patterns through DNA analysis. Archaeological evidence, such as tool discoveries and cave paintings, also supports the theory of human migration out of Africa. Additionally, fossils of early human remains found in different continents provide physical evidence of human movement across Asia into Europe and into other regions.
