Our father is African?

Scientists have identified a serious climate crisis in Africa about 70 thousand years ago and most likely changed the development process of human history.

Evidence from sediments taken from the bottom of Lake Malawi, Tanganyika in East Africa and Bosumtwi in Ghana shows that the equatorial Africa has experienced a prolonged drought period.

According to scientists, this is likely the cause of some of the first people on earth to leave Africa and from there to flourish globally. Of course, those who stayed on the continent at that time must have had to suffer and an intense vitality to overcome such a terrible situation.

" This has made a great impact on the landscape, not only humans but also all animals in equatorial Africa at the time, " said Professor C. Scholz of Syracuse University (USA). .

The documents that Prof. Scholz collected showed more than 75,000 years ago, due to the drought that Lake Malawi (currently as large as 550 km long and 700m deep) "shrunk" only a few small lakes with dimensions less than 10 km wide and less than 200m deep. Worse, the Bosumtwi Lake (currently 10 km wide) has no water left. There must be a drought that extends across the continent and for quite a long time it will have such an effect.

Genetic studies also found that modern human society now originates from a group of about 10,000 people living in East Africa at the time of the crisis. And as soon as this crisis ended, the world population quickly increased and many of our ancestors began to leave Africa to live in the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

Scientists increasingly believe that tragedies in the distant past have reshaped human progress. If so, we owe our predecessors to living today, a small group of people who tried to seize life in the crisis or decided to leave to find water. .
