When and where did the journey of humans begin?
Scientists believe that our species Homo sapiens was born in Africa more than 3 lakh years ago. About 60 to 70 thousand years ago, some Homo sapiens came out of Africa and spread to different parts of the world. But where did these first humans go after leaving Africa and how did they spread across the world?
According to the research report published in Nature magazine, dna and archaeological evidence shows that after leaving Africa, humans first went to the Middle East. From there they gradually spread to Asia and Europe. After some time, they also reached America and Australia.
This journey lasted for thousands of years and humans had to face many difficulties in it. But they gradually continued to evolve and made their place all over the world.
The journey of humans from Africa to the world was not easy
The story of Homo sapiens leaving Africa and spreading across the world is not as simple as we think. New evidence suggests that this was a complex process, in which humans tried to leave Africa several times.
Fossil and archaeological discoveries show that humans tried to leave Africa several times, not just once. Neanderthals were an ancient human species that lived in europe and Asia. Traces of Homo sapiens dna have been found in their dna, which suggests that there was mixing between the two species. This also suggests that humans tried to leave Africa several times.
The population of some of the humans who left Africa in the early stages decreased or they became extinct. About 60-70 thousand years ago, a large wave of humans left Africa and spread all over the world. All non-African people of today are descendants of these humans.
