The report of genetic scientists that all of humanity came from one foremother has recently been confirmed again. A study of the Xq13.3 gene suggested that the "mother Eve, " who possessed all the Homo Sapiens genes, met Adam about 200 thousand years ago.
Africa - the ancestral home of modern people
The most ancient representative of the species Intelligent Man lived on Earth about two million years ago. This recent conclusion of scientists is opposed to the conclusion of other researchers that the homo sapiens species is no more than 200 thousand years old. These experts believe that the genus Homo arose and developed quite quickly. His ancestor was an isolated group of African hominids. These are two hypotheses that are debating among themselves - the multiregional hypothesis and the hypothesis of "Eve's foremother." Adherents of both theories agree that human ancestors appeared in Africa, and human migration from the African continent began about a million years ago.
In accordance with the hypothesis of the "forefather of Eve, " the modern look of Homo Sapiens quickly adapted to a changing environment and, as a result, crowded out the remaining subspecies. "Eve" lived about 200 thousand years ago. The multiregional theory says that the genus Homo originated two million years ago and gradually spread throughout the planet. Evolution was underway, and the groups of the human race that lived in cold lands acquired a more dense build and blond hair. Among the people who inhabited the steppes, individuals with a developed upper eyelid that protected their eyes from wind and sand gained an advantage. And those who lived in a hot humid climate began to differ in dark skin color and a “cap” of curly hair that could protect against the harmful effects of the scorching sun. So races appeared on Earth - established groups of people united by common hereditary traits.
