Where do humans actually come from? There's no way it's Africa right?
surely it is colder during nights, even in the most warm areas of africa
it is Africa but Great Rift Valley along mountainous regions of Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania
Humans come from Eurasia where our hairless Neanderthal ancestors were cold adapted and didn't need clothes.
There is a fringe theory that was proposed by Richard D. Fuerle in this book that proposes an "Out of Eurasia" theory
https://www.unz.com/text/ErectusWalks/index.html
I'll post a short summary of the arguments he makes
>The human evolutionary framework proposed by Fuerle seems to generally follow that of Coon, providing various arguments that contrary to modern orthodoxy, the different races of man actually predate the appearance of homosexual sapiens itself, having evolved in the geographically-separated populations of our homosexual erectus predecessors. As an example of the evidence presented, he notes that the early erectoids dwelling in Asia had shovel-shaped incisors, as do modern Asians, which seems unlikely to have been purely coincidental.
>But Fuerle’s central thesis is that our reigning Out of Africa framework—the notion that homosexual sapiens first evolved in Africa then spread throughout the world—should be replaced by an Out of Eurasia model, and some of his points do seem like reasonable ones.
>He argues that the package of African physical traits seems to be heat-adapted, while those of Asians are cold-adapted with the Caucasian race remaining more generalized, then suggests on theoretical grounds that a heat-adapted human population would be less likely to easily evolve into cold-adapted and generalized varieties, let alone do so in as little as the 60,000 years now believed. Also, Africa’s relatively stable environment would be much less likely to provide the severe environmental challenges necessary for giving rise to a new species, especially one with far greater intelligence than its erectoid predecessors.
>Under the current theory of African origins, homosexual sapiens migrated out of Africa into Eurasia during the very time that the latter continent was gripped by a severe ice age that produced very difficult living conditions compared with their less impacted African homeland, which seems implausible. Moreover, Neanderthal man had already occupied Europe and parts of Asia for hundreds of thousands of years, surely being well adapted to local conditions and also having a larger brain than homosexual sapiens, so it seems unlikely that small numbers of African-adapted human interlopers could have easily displaced them.
>Meanwhile, Fuerle’s contrary model of human evolution argues that sapiency was first achieved somewhere in the Eurasian continent, far larger than Africa and also providing much more stressful selective pressure. And during the ice age that wrapped the globe 60,000 years ago, small bands of early homosexual sapiens were driven into Africa’s more hospitable climate rather than away from it.
>Not long after Fuerle’s book appeared, anthropology was rocked by the discovery that non-African DNA contained small Neanderthal elements, demonstrating that the two different species had interbred at least to some slight extent during the tens of thousands of years they overlapped in Europe and parts of Asia. Indeed, Cochran and Harpending had even suggested that such Neanderthal introgression might have involved genes crucial for the success of homosexual sapiens, perhaps providing traits well-adapted to local environmental conditions, and therefore been subject to strongly positive selective pressure. A couple of years later, small traces of other pre-human hominoid DNA were found in some of the present-day populations of South-East Asia, the residue of a species called the Denisovans.
>All of these discoveries of residual DNA have demonstrated that species are not nearly as rigidly separated from one another as our elementary biology textbooks had usually maintained. Indeed, numerous animal species can readily mate and produce fertile offspring although they do not usually do so under natural conditions. Fuerle repeatedly stressed exactly this point in his book, long before these waves of DNA research had firmly established the case with regard to human beings. For example, homosexual neanderthalensis had always been classified as separate from our own species, but some might now argue that it was simply a different race of homosexual sapiens and should instead be called homosexual sapiens neanderthalensis.
>When we consider the larger populations of the Sub-Saharan African continent, those living in the Horn of Africa seem to be partial outliers, both by genes and by physical attributes, being a partial mix of the peoples on either side, African Black folks and Middle-Eastern Caucasians, in some respects actually being closer to the latter except with regard to skin color. Similar hybridization is quite common in the world, notably in Central Asia, where Caucasians and Asians have intermingled for thousands of years. So our hybridization with Neanderthals is merely an extreme example of this.
>Science inevitably advances, and over the last couple of decades the analysis of human DNA has substantially revised our family tree of world populations, providing quantitative results that are far more solid and exact than the crude analyses produced by past generations of physical anthropologists. If we exclude the small local populations of Australian Aborigines, African Pygmies, and a few other minor groups, humanity has traditionally been divided into three mega-races, the Caucasoids, Mongoloids, and Blacks, and that remains true today. But genetic analysis has now revealed that the first two groups cluster together much more closely, while the last is a considerable outlier. So to a good first approximation, mankind is genetically divided into Eurasians and Africans, and Fuerle makes the provocative argument that if Africans were not a living race and were instead only known from their bones and DNA, they probably would have been classified as a separate species from Eurasians.
>And in a telling passage quoted in Taylor’s lengthy review, Fuerle emphasizes that the phenotypical differences between Eurasians and Africans seem follow a consistent pattern:
>[V]irtually all of the racial differences between Africans and Eurasians are in traits that are primitive; there are few, if any, African traits that are more modern than Eurasian traits. The evidence comes from a large variety of very different traits: hard tissue, soft tissue, physiology, behavior, intelligence, accomplishments, and genes. And most importantly, all of the evidence is consistent. It is not the case that genes are saying blacks are modern and bones are saying they are primitive. All of the evidence is saying the same thing…
>This noticeable pattern of African traits is readily explained by Fuerle’s model of human origins. If homosexual sapiens first evolved in Eurasia and small bands of this new species then entered Africa perhaps 60,000 years ago, they might naturally have hybridized with the local hominids of that continent, just like other early members of their species had done with Neanderthals or Denisovans. But since the pre-existing local populations were so much larger, a much greater portion of today’s genetic ancestry might have come from those other sources.
>Earlier this year, an analysis of the African genome revealed that up to 19% of the DNA appears to have its origins in “ghost populations” of the archaic pre-human hominids who had once flourished on that continent. Although these scientific results have not received the media attention they might warrant, they seem to represent a striking experimental confirmation of the remarkable predictions that Fuerle had advanced in a book published a dozen years earlier. Our standard history textbooks explain that a century ago the 1919 solar eclipse expedition by Eddington provided experimental confirmation for the predictions of General Relativity, elevating Einstein to international fame and indirectly leading to his 1921 Nobel Prize. I’ve sometimes wondered whether these recent DNA findings should be considered in a similar light.
>Fuerle died in 2014 at the age of 73, thereby failing to see this apparent confirmation of his hypothesis, and I suspect he ended his life quite disappointed at the near-total lack of recognition his self-published 2008 book had achieved, especially given the many years of effort he had invested in producing it. Aside from that one long review in the American Renaissance newsletter, his work received no substantial discussion anywhere else, and seemingly fell into oblivion.

thanks anon, will read
It's nonsense anon. The oldest evidence of homosexual sapiens is in Northern and Southern Africa respectively, which predates all evidence of our species in Eurasia by over 100,000 years.
>>the preferred sleeping temperature of all humans is 20 C
Fricking isn't for me.
20C is insomnia zone for me. I can do 16 or 24.
But in the desert it can get Really Cold at night, it can drop to 20 apparently. If humans aren't nocturnal, 20C seems right.
20 °C is actually quite high? Addis Abada daily mean for example is around 16 °C throughout the year.
That's not exactly the norm. You're referring to that tiny yellow spot over Ethiopia which is due to having a 2,500 meter elevation. The climate does seem wonderful there though.
The climate was not the same 200 thousand years ago.
>which doesn't actually exist outside of the northern regions of Africa
Hey dumbass, the savanna gets cooler during the night, especially during winter. The Serengeti for example experiences an average of 15 to 29 degrees Celsius throughout the year, and much of Africa can stay at temps of around 10-20 degrees for most of the year depending on your elevation or how far south you are (South Africa and Lesotho have these in spades). You can even see this in gorillas, the lowland gorilla which lived in a hot tropical jungle has short fur, but the mountain gorilla has shaggier, longer fur because the rainforests they live in get to around 10-22 degrees C during the day and much colder at night.
Are you dumb?
It gets to negatives in Africa at night
Hell it even gets to 0 C in the outback, and Australian Aboriginals would sleep with just a fur blanket, sometimes even naked. Never underestimate how hardy the human body can be.
>It gets to negatives in Africa at night
Excuse me? It's hot as balls all year, it is the tropics after all.

They came from the yellow and yellowish parts of Africa.

Why the frick do you think we migrated out of Africa? It's fricking sweltering there
