The Incredible Human Journey

OUT OF AFRICA!

Has anyone watched this program? It's one of the best programs I've watched in a long time...

I know Oracles always talking about it, but to see it explained and unfold in detail is amazing to say the least.

If you haven't already done so, please watch the next installment... :D

The Out of Africa hypothesis is not a "program"; it's a postulate ... what are you talking about? :?

Has someone prepared a documentary explaining it?

Don't believe everything you are told, unless I've cleared it first :D

I think he must be talking about the documentary (in 2 or 3 parts) called "The Original Eve" which traces the spread of humans across the world from their origin in Africa.

I thought it was good as well.

I think I've seen one of those episodes of "The Original Eve". But what about "The Original Adam". If Eve mated with somebody who was less human wouldn't the offspring be less human as well? Maybe Oracle could tell us if evolution can have setbacks sometimes.

There were other Humans around like Eve at that time ... but it just so happens that along the way, maybe even centuries later, their offspring didn't survive, for one reason or another (influenza, plague etc). The fathers were no less Human. But of the surviving oldest Y-chromosome markers, there were probably down to 7 males who contributed to the line we descended from ... so we really are very closely related as a species :D .
