        I’m imagining what a Trump supporter would say.. So it has to be Obama. Or the Chinese, and their climate change hoax.

        Anatomically modern humans did make two exits from Africa: the first across the north-eastern land-bridge into the Sinai with Israel just beyond; the second went across the southern end of the Red Sea into Arabia. The first lot died out. The second lot peopled the world. 1/2

        2/2 The dates at the moment are around 120 000 years and 80 000 years respectively. But there’s considerable variation, and the jawbone found in Israel will add to that.

        So...where did white people come from? Not trying to be funny...but you seem to know a lot about this, and based on everything I’ve read people have always been olive-colored or brown. So if our origins are in Africa, then???

        2/2 My old man David Robbins, much more expert in this area, is just about to publish 'Walking to Australia' through Porcupine Press (https://www.porcupinepress.co.za/shop.html ) which follows man's migration and his travels from Africa into Europe, through Asia and into the top half Australia.
