Out_Of_Africa

Out Of Africa Ever since Charles Darwin published his theories on evolution, scientists all over the world have been working to discover the true, full history of mankind’s journey from living in the jungles of Africa to populating the whole world. This article “Not Out of Africa” tells the story of a lone Australian archaeologist whose 1968 discovery would rock the foundations of everything we knew, or thought we knew, about the beginning of mankind. In the year 1968 it was believed by all that the human race had begun in Africa. Supposedly, many different species in the genus Homo had arisen in Africa and spread throughout the world around 2 million years ago. About 120,000 years ago Homo sapiens arose and spread throughout the world replacing the indigenous peoples of the homo family. In 1968 an Australian archaeologist, Alan Thorne, discovered a 60,000 year old fossilized skeleton in a dried up lake in the aboriginal land of Australia. While this discovery does not seem that out of the ordinary, because older remains have been found in Africa and Europe, it is quite astonishing due to the fact it was found in Australia and was the remains of a Homo sapien.
