Modern people share a common origin in Africa

The origins of modern people and human settlements have been controversial with two different assumptions.

On one side is the ' Out of Africa ' model, claiming Homo sapiens originated from a single place in Africa, then migrated to other continents. The second model suggests that evolution from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens has taken place in many parts of the world independently.

After much analysis, British paleontologist Andrea Manica and colleagues at Cambridge University confirmed that they had found the final answer.

According to them, Homo sapiens were born from the African region selling the desert. Thanks to a wide-ranging study of genes and archeology, they found determinants. It is studying genetic diversity in residents around the world and more than 6,000 ancient skulls scattered across the globe.

Researchers have demonstrated that, the further away from the African cradle, the more diverse the genetic diversity is. Through the study of the skulls, the highest morphological changes were found in Southeast Africa and decreased as the continent gradually faded away.

Hence the assumption of ' Out of Africa ', the modern person has the same unique origin recognized. Homo sapiens may have emerged from Africa selling deserts about 150,000 years ago to conquer Asia and Europe.
