Out Of Africa Theory: The Out Of Africa

Human Migration Since the beginning of time humans have been trying to figure out how our civilization has become the way it is today. Humans have been trying to figure out why we all look so different even though we all come from the same ancestors. Many theories have been brought up in regards to evolution for example the Out Of Africa theory. The Out Of Africa theory argues that all humans descended from a small group of people in Africa, who then spread into the world relocating and transforming into earlier forms such as the Neanderthal. This is a theory that I do agree with because of all the scientific research that backs up this theory.

Before I watched the movie “Journey of Man” I didn’t know much about The Out of Africa
I personally am a firm believer in evolution because I believe in science and not in faith. DNA is one reason I believe in evolution. DNA is not only found in humans, but it’s also found in animals, in plants, and even in bacteria. The molecules that are in its composition are identical, but only the genes are different. The fact that every living creature on earth shares the same foundation is fair enough evidence that we are in fact related. Another reason is because of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), every human, plant, animal, and bacteria living on planet earth uses this same molecule to store energy. Another big reason why I believe in this is because all humans have Chromosome 2. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and monkeys have 24 pairs. The common chimpanzee which is the closest human relative has near-identical DNA sequences to the human chromosome 2. Also because of the fact that I grew up atheist I have since then experienced things that have led to me to believe that evolution and science is all real. Evolution has a mountain of evidence compared to religious beliefs, it is literally undeniable. The fact that you are able to trace back your own ancestry back several generations is proof enough. Looking at the DNA and seeing the relationships in DNA you can see the relationships between us and our common ancestors the chimps and even other monkeys. Looking at fossil records, you can see how animals and plants have evolved over time. Science as a whole subject depends on evidence and a fair evaluation of that evidence. Other objective analyses would have to conclude that in the end evolution is in fact true. On the other hand, God always keeps us guessing and has no concrete evidence what so ever. The religious side of it always requires people to “believe in it” while evolution is actual established fact. Disagreeing with
