Paleontologists trace orgins of modern humans to Botswana

The earliest ancestors of anatomically modern humans, Homo sapiens sapiens, emerged in southern Africa, according to a new study published this week in the journal Nature.

"It has been clear for some time that anatomically modern humans appeared in Africa roughly 200 thousand years ago," lead researcher Vanessa Hayes, a professor of human genomics at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia, said in a news release. "What has been long debated is the exact location of this emergence and subsequent dispersal of our earliest ancestors."
And the first thing that this modern human said was "Hang aan Å„ tak"?

#8  Well!
The Kalahari is right on the border of Botswana and South Africa. I would place heavy odds on the Bushmen of the Kalahari being the closest current link to the first modern Homo-sapien sapiens.

There are some rock paintings in that desert that have been estimated to be over 120,000 years old. When the Bushmen were asked what the represented they were able to describe the ritual/dance and preform it for the anthropologists! Not sure any other culture could do the same with even 2000 year old drawings.

#7  An argument in favour of culling the populations that wish to adhere to tribalism and what is protectively called 'ethnic culture'.

Were the story ever to be told how much misery and injustice is hidden behind 'gay festivals of colour and light', and 'ethnic indigenous customs', innocent looking practices around the world; they would be revealed for the satanism they are.
