Steven & Evan Strong/Wake Up World
The ideas that form the basis of this article have admittedly sat at the bottom of our ‘to do list’ for well over a year. Even though more than 30 articles have come and gone in the meantime, about sites of varying credentials, the ‘bones’ of this article have steadfastly clung on, albeit hanging onto second last position on the ladder of urgency.
More than once I have contemplated putting a line through the caption and seeking out more promising or pressing Original sites or relics to pursue. But with over half a dozen avenues of investigation currently underway or incomplete, these ideas – which relate to the untold history and evolution of humanity - can now finally appear in print.
Even though we will stray into the cosmic realm during this examination, we will also maintain our commitment to academic rigour and applying methodology of the finest selection. To that end we will be citing references as varied as world renowned experts in the fields of mitochondrial DNA and Y Chromosomes, the words of Original Elders, Original Dreaming stories, “hobbits”, and the telepathic thoughts of the alien held captive at Roswell for three years.
About 400,000 Years ago
To begin with, we need to set a solid empirical base, so we will briefly revisit some earlier research. We have made mention in previous articles of the individual work of Professors Alan Wilson and Rebecca Cann, who first proposed Africa as the birthplace of modern humans, as well as their subsequent retraction that nominated Australia, not Africa, as humanity’s beginning place.
Their examination of Original genes motivated Wilson to finally concede that:
“…it seems too far out to admit, but while Homo erectus was muddling along in the rest of the world, a few erectus had got to Australia and did something dramatically different – not even with stone tools – but it was there that Homo sapiens emerged and evolved.”
Wilson discovered that “the Australian racial group has a much higher rate of mutations than any other racial group”, and that the Original Homo sapien sapiens first emerged “about 400,000 years ago”. We have no problem with his conclusions, but do take exception to the open-ended nature of the process that he proposed led to the genesis of modern humans in Australia.
