THE CRUX OF IT: Everything and everyone originated in Africa except anything civilized.

 

 

 

 

Think about the possible timeline of our global evolution.

Recently, according to a story originally published in the journal Nature on May 21, 2015, the oldest stone tools were found, dating back 3.3 million years (700,000 years earlier that previously believed).

That suggests tools were being fashioned even before the emergence of Homo — the genus to which Neanderthals and modern humans belong. The first tools were discovered by chance in July 2011 during an archaeological expedition in the Nachukui Formation, a rocky outcrop in the desert badlands on the west bank of Kenya’s Lake Turkana.

Subsequently, more than three million years apparently past without a human contribution to the planet.

What then became the next monumental human achievement?

The general consensus is to credit Sumeria as being the first culture on the planet. That civilization is thought to have arisen between 4000 and 5500 years B.C.E. That notion is somewhat counter intuitive since migration extended North and then Eastward from Southern Africa originally. Ancient Kemet (Egypt – a Greek word) is estimated to have coalesced from the uniting of two upper and a lower regions, roughly  3100 years B.C.E.. That would mean that a significant population making up that civilization, originally derived from two sources that were closer to a large life sustaining body of water and fertile land, developed  after another one grew farther East, beyond it.

I suppose that’s possible but it does seem unlikely when a sort of logic is applied.

Take the U.S. for example; the secondary inhabitants of the country moved West and the cities grew in that wake. It didn’t happen in a backward fashion.

There is evidence suggesting that the arid land surrounding the city of Egypt that we know today, was once surrounded by lush growth and waterfall. The natural weather patterns and climate were different long ago.

Erosion patterns around the Sphinx suggests the flow of rainwater – dating back 10,000 years.

If that’s true, it would make sense that a group of people from what was called “The Black Land” – Kemet – initiated that civilization’s growth and some portion of the people continued East to settle the land the Sumerians themselves  called “The land of black headed people”.

Reasonable deductions and evidence, with the removal of politicization, may re-write the history that we’ve been fed.
