 80,000
years ago, a group of approximately 250 people undertook a single exodus via
the southern route, according to (Dr Steven Oppenheimer) of Oxford University,
his evidence? Genetic tracking of Mitochondria D.N.A., shows that only one
line of humans came out of Africa.
Climate maps and sea level charts that
shows that the Northern route of Africa was impassable around this time, but
the sea level was low enough to make travelling from Africa to Yemen more
feasible. Following the single exodus to Yemen, our ancestors dispersed to colonize
other part of the world.

Malaysia
Some group stayed within the region, others moved
east. In Malaysia traces of ash-dating back to the great Mount Toba eruption
in Sumatra 74,000 years ago, wee found on stone tools left by modern humans
in Kota Tampra, a wooded valley near Penang. Anthropologist Zuraima Majidr
director of the centre for archaeological research Malaysia discovered this
evidence.
Australia
Australian
Aborigines have a number of unique genetic lines that leads straight back
to the first modern human to survive outside of Africa. The first group arrived
70,000 years ago and left cave paintings showing creatures from a vanished
world dated 61,000 BCE. In addition to this were the rock paintings of Namibia
South West Africa about 60,000 BCE.
Middle
Eastern Countries 50,000 BCE
En route to Australia from Africa our ancestors left behind colonies that
made their own journey further to the east. One group moved from Asia to China
and beyond while another went west from India to Himalayans. Others went onto
the vast Asia steppes while the remaining colonies went to Arabian Gulf. Hence
the creation of the Middle Eastern Countries, Syria, Levant, Turkey, The Balkans
and Europe.
Ngwenya
Culture
About
45,000 years ago some our ancestors still in East and Central Africa moved
further south. They established the first iron mine called Ngwenya Iron Mine
in Swaziland South African. Mr Adrian Boshier field research officer for the
Museum of Man and Science in Johannesburg South African discovered this evidence.
Which was also supported by Carbon Dating and article publication in the New
York Times on 8th of February 1970.
About
35,000 years ago, some our ancestors who are well established in South and
Central Africa began to express their artistic prowess. The
evidence is from the elegance of prehistoric African art unearthed in southern
Africa, presently located in the Pretoria Museum, approximately 30,000 years
old. Cut by flint stone tools by prehistoric indigenous Africans. In addition
was the reconstruction of a stone age African skull-cast, such African lived
during the same period as the artist who made the original cast about 25,000
BCE.
Bearing
Strait
About 20,000 years ago our ancestors in India, South-east Asia, China, Mongolia
and Siberia, Cross the Bearing Strait. This route remain impassable for another
8,000 years
Meadowcroft
USA 16,000 BCE
On the Ohio River in Pennsylvania, the Meadowcroft rock shelter settlement
site holds key archaeological clues to American ancestry. Meadowcroft is the
oldest American sites. The Meadowcroft site contains artefacts dating to around
16,000 BCE. Some of the artefacts from Meadowcroft bore concise similarities
to those discovered in China about 28,000 BCE.
The evidence
from Meadowcroft and other American sites suggests that humans did not migrate
to North America via one route as previously thought. That population bearing
different genetic lines appeared to have entered North America through different
routes and times, from Central Asia, China, Malaysia, Japan and Siberia
To illustrate
the Africans artistic prowess and spirit of adventure, here are quotations: "Grimaldi
10,000 BCE," (indigenous South African) "sculptor in Monomotapa,"
(South Africa) "carved the first known statue of a human body."
"Europeans misnamed it, "Venus Of Willendorf," it was confiscated
from Africa and place in the Museum of Vienna, Austria in Europe."
