Because it was at the higher latitudes, or in temperate zones, approaching the northern climes, where early humans, the homo-sapien sapiens, evolved their intellect beyond the neighboring negro hominims of the tropics, to sow the seeds needed for civilization to germinate.

Just another stupid post. The world's first technical civilisations arose NOT in temperate zones but in areas consensually agred on as the sub-tropics and tropics. Ancient Egypt, Ancient Kush, Harrapan, Maya, Aztec, Inca, etc. all arose in tropical and subtropical areas--where there is no snow, the heat is immense during the dry season and tropical and sub-tropical dwelling animals thrive--as in the case of lions, crocodiles(Africa), hippos, camels, etc.
By constrast, no independent civilisation ever arose in the temperate and frigid zones. The best, the temperate zone dwellers could ever come up with was Stone Henge(LOL).

The Aurignacian civilization was founded by the Cro-Magnon people who originated in Sub-Saharan Africa. They took this culture to Western Europe across the Straits of Gibraltar. The Cro-Magnon people were probably Bushman/Khoi.
There have been numerous "Negroid skeletons" found in Europe. Marcellin Boule and Henri Vallois, in Fossil Man, provide an entire chapter on the Africans/Negroes of Europe Anta Diop also discussed the Negroes of Europe in Civilization or Barbarism, pp.25-68. Also W.E. B. DuBois, discussed these Negroes in the The World and Africa, pp.86-89. DuBois noted that "There was once a an "uninterrupted belt' of Negro culture from Central Europe to South Africa" (p.88).
Boule and Vallois, note that "To sum up, in the most ancient skeletons from the Grotte des Enfants we have a human type which is readily comparable to modern types and especially to the Negritic or Negroid type" (p.289). They continue, "Two Neolithic individuals from Chamblandes in Switzerland are Negroid not only as regards their skulls but also in the proportions of their limbs. Several Ligurian and Lombard tombs of the Metal Ages have also yielded evidences of a Negroid element.
Since the publication of Verneau's memoir, discoveries of other Negroid skeletons in Neolithic levels in Illyria and the Balkans have been announced. The prehistoric statues, dating from the Copper Age, from Sultan Selo in Bulgaria are also thought to protray Negroids.
In 1928 Rene Bailly found in one of the caverns of Moniat, near Dinant in Belgium, a human skeleton of whose age it is difficult to be certain, but seems definitely prehistoric. It is remarkable for its Negroid characters, which give it a reseblance to the skeletons from both Grimaldi and Asselar (p.291).
Boule and Vallois, note that "We know now that the ethnography of South African tribes presents many striking similarities with the ethnography of our populations of the Reindeer Age. Not to speak of their stone implements which, as we shall see later , exhibit great similarities, Peringuey has told us that in certain burials on the South African coast 'associated with the Aurignacian or Solutrean type industry...."(p.318-319).
They add, that in relation to Bushman art " This almost uninterrupted series leads us to regard the African continent as a centre of important migrations which at certain times may have played a great part in the stocking of Southern Europe. Finally, we must not forget that the Grimaldi Negroid skeletons sho many points of resemblance with the Bushman skeletons". They bear no less a resemblance to that of the fossil Man discovered at Asslar in mid-Sahara, whose characters led us to class him with the Hottentot-Bushman group.
The Boule and Vallois research makes it clear that the Bushman expanded across Africa on into Europe via Spain as the Grimaldi people. This makes it clear that the Bushman/Khoisan people were not isolated in South Africa. The Khoisan people carry the haplogroup N. The Hadza are Bushman they carry haplogroup N.

And your ancestor the Neanderthal squatted around in the temperate zones for more than 400,000 years and had not much to show the arriving tropically adapted Africans.

Exactly and lets not forget a mini version of Stonehenge was found in Nabta Playa before the Euros. LOL.
Eurocentrism is a disease.

Above is a picture of Cro-Magnon man, the first anatomically modern European. The first Europeans were the Bushman or Khoisan people.
This is a bushman or San.
Hottentot
As I mentioned earlier the Bushman created much of the early civilization of Eurasia. They left us numerous figurines showing their type.
Venus Figurines
The Bushman continue to carry this ancient form.

This makes it clear that Civilization in Europe began in Africa below the Tropic of Cancer.

Clyde, why would it be the San, they are at the furthermost region of Africa, most South from from Eurasia?
