In what country to scientists believe that H. Sapiens evolved and then spread across the globe?
a. Russia
b. Norway
c. Ethiopia
d. Finland
The answer is C, Ethiopia!
Ethiopia is widely considered one of the oldest human inhabited areas, if not the oldest according to some scientific findings: Ethnographic migration studies, Anthropological artifactual discoveries, Anthropological skeletal remains and Genetic variegation radiation analyses all lend evidence to this school of thought. As the Washington Post's David Brown put it, "the new research further shows that genetic diversity declines steadily the farther one's ancestors traveled from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia". Discovered in the Awash Valley of Ethiopia's Afar region, Lucy is considered the world’s second oldest, but most complete, and best preserved adult Australopithecine fossil. Lucy's species is named Australopithecus afarensis, which means 'southern ape of Afar', after the Ethiopian region where the discovery was made. Lucy is estimated to have lived in Ethiopia 3.2 million years ago. There have been many other notable fossil findings in the country including the recently found potential early hominin Ardipithicus ramidus, Ardi.
