I
was pleasantly surprised on Thursday 5th
March 2015, whilst watching Al Jazeera (English) news. The previous
day I had heard on BBC 1 news that an astonishing new discovery had
been made in East Africa. This great discovery meant that the
previous dates on human genesis could be off target by approximately,
400, 000 years; the new discovery of human like bones found in
Ethiopia date back to 2.8 million years, contradicting past
scientific evidence that our relatives were born in the same region
approximately 2.3 million years ago.
Now
remember earlier I said that I was pleasantly surprised, well, the
reason behind the surprise was that although I first heard this news
break on BBC, it was not until the following day when I watched Al
Jazeera news, that I realized that the scientist who discovered
possibly, repeat possibly, the remains of the first human being, was
himself an African, his name, Chalachew Seyoum, from Ethiopia. You
might ask, well, why the surprise? The reason was that I naturally
thought it was non-African scientist, as they are known for doing
this type of research and so it follows that the find, based on this
presumption, would have had come from a non-African, although as I
explain later, that term [non-African] is quite ironic. Anyway,
getting back to the discovery, Mr. Seyoum, once again confirms that
both primitive and modern man have their genesis in Africa.
To
date, as Williams and Amalemba have pointed out in their recent book
entitled Black Scientists
and Inventors in the UK:
Millenniums of Inventions
and innovations, (Published in 2015) -
to date, the oldest human remains have been found on the African
continent, mostly in east, central and southern Africa.
In
their afore mentioned book, they point out that Homo Sapien (modern
man), travelled throughout Africa setting up communities. Being the
first in the human family, he and she, were the first to create and
invent tools and even concepts which, over hundreds of thousands of
years, have been improved (not re-invented) but which we still use
today. It was this man from Africa who travelled throughout the world
giving birth to different racial groups and civilizations. The only
other man, who I understand developed independently and slightly
later, outside of Africa was the Neanderthal man; he is said to
either come directly from Europe or Asia minor. When modern man
travelled into Europe around 50,000 years ago, he came into contact
with Neanderthal, whose intellect was far too inferior in
developmental terms. Neanderthal was in early development and had
savage tendencies, he could not keep up with homo sapien,
intellectually, physically and as nature would it, eventually died
out. Although some scientists believe that Homo sapiens saved the
Neanderthal from total extinction through interrelationships, which
helped him evolve to be a more erect, less hairy, with a better
forehead and not a flat receding one that is related to earlier
Neanderthal.
Question,
has the young African scientist, Chalachew Seyoum, finally put to bed
the fact that Africa is the true garden of Eden, which the bible
speaks of? - and that Adam and Eve were Africans who were the first
to play in that garden? If this is the case then we can now say with
surety that the African is the real mother and father of all people
on the earth. Those (non-Africans) who claim that Africans are not
their parents must either be direct descendants of the Neanderthal
man or may be aliens from another planet both premises virtually
impossible, of course.
Now,
with the many recent racist murders visited upon people of African
descent in the west; mainly by white law enforcement officers and
other agencies of supremacy, it is my hope that instead of these
officers and others disrespecting their mothers and fathers, they
will realise that without the African they would not exist, and so
should accord due respect to their legitimate mothers and fathers, so
that their days be long.
