Africa has long been regarded as the cradle of humankind, but scientists seeking a more specific location have narrowed in on northern Botswana as the"homeland" for all modern humans, according to a new study.
There, south of the Greater Zambezi River Basin, which includes northern Botswana and parts of Namibia and Zimbabwe, the ancestors of Homo sapiens began 200,000 years ago, the researchers said. Their new study, published Monday in the journal Nature, suggests that the ancestors of modern humans thrived for 70,000 years in this region before climate change led them to migrate out of Africa and eventually span the globe.

Hay que respetar el criterio de los expertos, además de que los negros engendran albinos, eso también es cierto.
Cares no one.
No one knows for sure
Ah. Now we know which county to blame for this horrible mess.
THAT is pretty cool. Not to forget, however, what Carl Sagan loved to say: 'We are all made of the same elements as the stars. We are star-stuff.'
No way. That research was flawed. There are so many locations on the African continent that many researchers claim are of human origine. Its not the first time we have heard of such. South Africa too has the cradle of human life. That's the same belt stretching into Botswana.
We are all *one perhaps but we have overpopulated this poor earth. Time for mandatory vasectomies on newborns. Will save so much heartache.

Dear scientists, see Genesis 1-2. Then take the skills God has given you & use them to help your fellow man since you can't seem to find a way to do it in service to the God who created you & all people. Evolution & climate change are religions. Believing it doesn't make it so.
Why a photo of a white woman with the lead on this and not just people from Botswana? Are white women 'modern' humans and people now living in Botswana somehow millions-of-years-old humans? Oozing racism all over the place.
