Africa is the birthplace and humans have existed for at least 500,000 years in our current form. Africans have been around the world many times prior to the past 2,000 years.
500,000 years is approximately 20 Great Years, which in total, is a Great Generation. Who's keeping score?
Expanded Explanation
The Human Genome Project is the most recent answer to that question. Other evidences had previously answered the question.. This includes the JCM Bible that generally asserts that all humans have one origin. So humans today, such as white people, brown people and other groups who say they are not African, then what one group of humans did you and everybody else come from? Pick one.The case is closed but all other groups want to treat it like it's open for debate and has not been proven.
All people came from Africa.
All fundamental knowledge, abilities, language, religion and so on, all have their start from a root or seed from Africa.
Africa is at the center and height of Earth and is the epicenter from which all other humans vibrated from, migrated from.
Human phenotype variations account for less than 2% surface differences.
If everyone did not share the same genetics, there would be no ability to transfuse blood, organs or mate. The children would be disfigured and short-lived, if they made it out of the womb alive.
The primary difference is how we are nourished regarding knowledge of self and knowledge of all else.
This mis-education has left us malnourished and has defected our thinking and behavior towards each other and the rest of the ecosystem.
We are mind-centered, emotion-centered and physical centered, rather than being spirit-soul balanced and integrated.
Each group, according to how they self-identify, use various methods of protection, some necessary, some unnecessary.
But because we are all connected and trying to stay afloat, like porous bobbing apples, in the same waters, we have to respond to the ripple effects caused by others. Pull yourself up by your own life raft.
All this is a human-perpetuating cycle caused by all groups of humans, not all equally contributing among each other, but all equally contributing within their chosen primary identities.
In other words, for black folks or FBA's, we have failed each other, thus are easily assailed by others. Once we get it right and tight with each other, then others have no choice but to rethink or sink.
History makes it certain that there will be a sinking, a rising and a floating in the middle where things can settle back to equilibrium.Will your group identity, thinking and behavior towards others who identify the same, be the kind of protection that is too heavy and causes you to sink and too weak to lift you up to new heights, OR will that sequestering of identity, thinking and behavior be able to harmonize weather-wise, be able to weather-ride out all storms, thus keep you afloat no matter what all other groups in the entire ecosystem, do?
