Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Outstanding Academic Book A Library Journal Best Sci-Tech Book A New York Times Notable Book Once in a generation a book such as African Exodus emerges to transform the way we see ourselves. This landmark book, which argues that our genes betray the secret of a single racial stock shared by all of modern humanity, has set off one of the most bitter debates in contemporary science. "We emerged out of Africa," the authors cont, "less than 100,000 years ago and replaced all other human populations." Employing persuasive fossil and genetic evidence (the proof is in the blood, not just the bones) and an exceptionally readable style, Stringer and McKie challenge long-held beliefs that suggest we evolved separately as different races with genetic roots reaching back two million years.

This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of Connections Remembered is the ancient African origins of humanity and civilization, framed around the impact of these historical hallmarks on healthy Black identity development. It is an easy-to-read, yet scientifically validated account of the remarkable accomplishments of ancient Africa and her people. This new edition emphasizes the inextricable linkage between Black self-concept and what Black people are taught through the Eurocentric curricula's expression of African Americans' historical roots. It debunks the flawed and psychically devastating view that Black people's beginnings were as dehumanized plantation slaves. It is written for adults and is concerned with augmenting the education of Black children in American schools especially during their identity-shaping formative years. The book reconnects African and African American history as one continuous narrative, not two disconnected stories; this is key to overcoming our fragmented inner selves and restoring healthy communities. Maps, charts, suggested activities and thought starters are included in each of the eight sections to better engage with the content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents all the latest evidence concerning the African origins of modern humanity. For 200 000 years Africa was at the forefront of human progress. The author smashes all racist misuse of evolution. He also takes a detailed look at the implications of an African origin. 1) It essentially means that the first people everywhere were of African appearance. Ancient Egyptian hairstyles suited to Afro hair appear in Europe 30 000 years ago!2) Only those outside the tropical and sub-tropical regions became of non-African appearance. The first civilizations arose in the sub-tropics!3) Humans of all backgrounds have nutritional and lifestyle requirements directly resulting from our African origins! This is a little known fact!This is where African history should truly start! Wonderfully written and well-illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Humans is a vivid account of the most recent—and perhaps the most important—phase of human evolution: the appearance of anatomically modern people (Homo sapiens) in Africa less than half a million years ago and their later spread throughout the world. Leaving no stone unturned, John F. Hoffecker demonstrates that Homo sapiens represents a “major transition” in the evolution of living systems in terms of fundamental changes in the role of non-genetic information. Modern Humans synthesizes recent findings from genetics (including the rapidly growing body of ancient DNA), the human fossil record, and archaeology relating to the African origin and global dispersal of anatomically modern people. Hoffecker places humans in the broad context of the evolution of life, emphasizing the critical role of genetic and non-genetic forms of information in living systems as well as how changes in the storage, transmission, and translation of information underlie major transitions in evolution. He also draws on information and complexity theory to explain the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa several hundred thousand years ago and the rapid and unprecedented spread of our species into a variety of environments in Australia and Eurasia, including the Arctic and Beringia, beginning between 75,000 and 60,000 years ago. This magisterial work will appeal to all with an interest in the ever-fascinating field of human evolution.

Book excerpt: Africa occupies a very special position in the origin and development of humankind. It is on this continent, as exciting new discoveries of fossil material have revealed, that our pre-human ancestors evolved and first acquired the key characteristics that give us our humanity. The evidence of this immense surge of human creativity is incontrovertible: the tools uncovered, the art painted and engraved on rocks, the representations of symbolic thought. This book celebrates humanity's origins in Africa and the rich archaeological heritage of the continent. It has been written by some of the world's foremost authorities on Africa's past under the editorship of Geoffrey Blundell, the Origin Centre's Curator.

This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, is to acknowledge the accomplishments of people of African descent in the exploration of the cosmos: on- and -off world who founded the first global civilizations and basis of the largest modern religions. It starts with cultural and genetic intervention by "Sky People" from Orion upon indigenous homo erectus of Africa. It looks at diversity in the portrayal of extraterrestrials that seeded our descendants. In doing so, the book examines the reaction and fear of white genocide that this portrayal engenders among the world's minority who have monopolized most of the wealth and power among all humans on the planet today. The book describes the present tension between a minority holding 80 percent of the wealth and a non-white majority forced to migrate to survive political chaos imposed by the West and climate change imposed by polluters exploiting the environment in pursuit of untold riches. The search for answers raised by revelations amassed from research examined begins with 200,000-year old advanced civilizations in Africa prior to the last Ice Age. A Star Wars with nuclear weapons allegedly altered the climate and led to that natural calamity. The "Tower of Babel" experience is perused in examining the setting prior to the last Ice Age and advanced civilizations that influenced the Ancients of Africa's Global Hegemony out of pharaonic Egypt or Kemet. The book also looks at how Africa's legacy, land, people, and religion was rebranded by Western invaders as their own. The roots of modern Christianity is closely examined. The founders of the bible, prophets, the messiah, disciples, saints, and early church leaders are uncovered as African people similar in appearance to African-Americans and Sub-Saharan Africans today. They are the most direct descendants of the off-world founders of humanity allegedly watching us today and guiding our evolution primarily through the DNA they seeded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POPULAR SCIENCE. Humans are rather weak when compared with many other animals. We are not particular fast and have no natural weapons. Yet Homo sapiens currently number nearly 7.5 billion and are set to rise to nearly 10 billion by the middle of this century. We have influenced almost every part of the Earth system and as a consequence are changing the global environmental and evolutionary trajectory of the Earth. So how did we become the worlds apex predator and take over the planet? Fundamental to our success is our intelligence, not only individually but more importantly collectively. But why did evolution favour the brainy ape? Given the calorific cost of running our large brains, not to mention the difficulties posed for childbirth, this bizarre adaptation must have given our ancestors a considerable advantage.
