Out of Africa theory is the theory that all humans originated in Africa and spread out from there.

But there's very clear evidence that proto-humans existed all around the world. There are even Homo Erectus bones in England.

How can humans have all come from Africa and spread out if protohumans were already in Europe and Asia?

That doesn't make sense.

No one is denying that the very first protohuman evolved in Africa, but out of Africa likes to state that anatomically modern humans evolved only in Africa and spread out from there.

If Protohumans existed over the world, doesn't it make more sense that they all evolved into the different races?

Why is it very hard to find information surrounding how races evolved?

There seems to be a complete lack of information about what the first anatomically modern humans looked like when they were in Africa.

They moved to Asia 70,000 years BC but I can't find anything on how they evolved into the Mongoloid race.

Exactly

It's ludicrous

All the "DNA evidence" and "fossil records" and "overwhelming consensus of experts" is smoke and mirrors

Likely by the Jews

Everybody knows that proto humans such as homo habilis were the exact same thing as anatomically modern humans

In fact, people just spontaneously generated on every continent

>Cro-Magnon (Listeni/kroʊˈmænjən/ or US pronunciation: /kroʊˈmæɡnən/; French: [kʁomaɲɔ̃]) is a common name that has been used to describe the first early modern humans (early Homo sapiens sapiens) that lived in the European Upper Paleolithic.[1] Current scientific literature prefers the term European early modern humans (EEMH), to the term Cro-Magnon, which has no formal taxonomic status, as it refers neither to a species or subspecies nor to an archaeological phase or culture.[2] The earliest known remains of Cro-Magnon-like humans are radiocarbon dated to 43-45,000 years before present that have been discovered in Italy[3] and Britain,[4] with the remains found of those that reached the European Russian Arctic 40,000 years ago.

Did we all evolve from people whose skin was about as melanin rich as the people who currently live in the tropics? Yes, there is absolutely no discussion or question about that, it is as close to a fact as you can get in this field.

It doesn't refer to descendants of early Europeans, and it isn't a formal taxonomic classification.

Define this. Cro-Magnons are just the earliest skeletons found in Europe that are almost indistinguishable from modern humans, which is why they are called anatomically modern humans. Neaderthals and Denisovans aren't classified as humans but there was interbreeding between humans and them, so were they biologically humans too?

What do you mean by 'black' people?

Bantu? West African? Negrito? Dravidian?

>>860520

One could infer that the first hairless humans darkened up as they lost their hair. Higher levels of melanin in the skin is an advantage in the tropics. It only becomes a disadvantage once you live in an area or have a lifestyle with poor sources of vitamin D in the food, and where there are long periods of little sunlight.
>>
>>860515
How did we evolve lighter skin?
>>
Evolutionary selection pressure for decreased melanin.

>>860562
see >>860542 and >>860543


>"comparisons between known skin pigmentation genes in chimpanzees and modern Africans show that dark skin evolved along with the loss of body hair about 1.2 million years ago and is the ancestral state of all humans." This is several million years after after the time estimated for the last common human-chimpanzee ancestor, but at least 1 million years before the emergence of Homo Sapiens. This suggests that the earliest species in Homo may have had lighter skin, but that the advantageous genes for dark skin were universal by the time of the first true humans.

>The first modern humans evolved about 200.000 years ago in Africa. When they lost their body hair (or at least most of it), they needed some other protection of their skin from the sun - otherwise they are prone to develop melanoma. Melanin is such a protection, and the rate of melanoma is much lower in dark skinned people. There is also a nice correlation between latitude and skin color - the more to the north (and to some degree to the south as well) you get, the lighter the skin color of the population gets. The reason for this is likely the better ability to synthesize Vitamin D (for which you need sunlight on the skin)

I think the loss of hair and gain of melanin must have happened at the same rate.

You'd never have a naked white ape in the Rift Valley, dying of skin cancer young for a few thousand years.


No aquatic ape ITT? Image related.

>>860603
I don't really believe in aquatic ape theory, but is it just a coincidence that humans are well adapted to swimming?

I mean something as mundane as holding your breath is something that most animals can't do.
>>
>>860603
I've read a little bit about aquatic ape, it's obviously not /x/ tier, but I think that some of the arguments are a bit of a stretch. Your picture suggests loss of body hair was an aquatic adaptation, I think it's much more likely to be related to cooling down more effectively allowing sweat to evaporate. And humans are better endurance runners than any other species.
>>
>>860621

The place humans evolved has drastic changes through the seasons. Regions can be flooded at one part of the year, brush-land in another, grassland in another, and desert-steppe in another. The idea that Africa is a stable idyllic environment pushed by some Eurocentrists is an obvious fable; as is the idea that it's too harsh for anyone to develop there, this one is pushed by Eurocentrists sometimes.

I don't buy the aquatic ape theory because I can't think of a find that would /prove/ it. But I always keep it in mind when considering human prehistory, because we /know/ early humans had to deal with aquatic environments all the time.

Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets. Rickets make you unattractive and too slow for raping, so the guys that had an easier time coming up with vitamin D in lower-light environments got lucky more often and so passed on their pasty genes while smokes didn't.

What if those two tribe from different species which is incompatible with each other? They just die.

Compared to Neanderthals etc. he's right. Of course humans also cluster along racial lines, craniofacially.

Sure, which makes more sense, because 'black' doesn't actually work as a biological classification (there is always inbreeding between populations so distinct divisions based on phenotype never accurately reflect the biological reality). The whole 'black' thing seems to largely be american, or at least when it's used as something other than a colloquial terminology.

>What they mean is a black skinned proto-human.
No what you mean is you don't want to be associated with modern black people, and certainly not in a way that makes you think you may descend from them or be related in any way. It goes against your world view and you can't find a way to rationalise it so you have to rely on not believing it. By using black skinned proto human you are distancing yourself from that which hurts you, inventing an escape route, a caveat for your brain to carry on as it was rather than accept something you believe in could be wrong. A dissonance, the Dunning-Kruger effect, call it what you like but its there for all to see. If you want to fix it, you have to look at the evidence you can find and understand, look at the opinions of people who are experts and then come to a new rational decision based on this instead of a belief. Might even be the same, but at least it won't be on the shaky ground you stand on now.

Not really. Most modern sources classify them as their own species, not a sub-species. From what we can tell, we only interbred with them with great difficulty, similar to tigers and lions.
