[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [QB] The first migration out of Africa had to be the first and the last. There were no journeys out of Africa. The 'original', 'indigenous' Arabs was certainly black but they were not "African". They were always Asiatic people. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bettyboo: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] There is no doubt that the first Arabians came from Africa. But that was many,many thousands of years ago. What is in question is when the Asiatic whites became the predominant population of this region. Some may say 2,000 years ago others 500 and still others 5-10,000. But the fact remains that the aboriginal population of Arabia was black and that later waves of migrations from Europe and Asia are what have created the diversity in features found in Arabia today. [/qb][/QUOTE]The first Arabians didn't come from Africa. They were always in Asia. [/qb][/QUOTE]The first migrations out of Africa into the rest of the world followed a few main routes, one of which was ARABIA. Therefore, the first populations of Arabia were Africans, because ALL humans came from Africa and in order to LEAVE Africa and get to the East one of the most direct routes was through Arabia. But you are right though, as since then Arabia HAS been subject to migrations from central Asia, but these migrations took place THOUSANDS of years after Arabia was first settled by black Africans and these new migrants are the reasons for the populations you see in Arabia today. Whether they migrated directly across the red sea or indirectly from the Levant, the first populations of Arabia came from Africa: [QUOTE] A Southern Route That modern humans left the continent via the Horn of Africa and followed what’s been dubbed a “southern route” as they migrated through Arabia on their way eastward is an idea that’s been “tossed around since the 1980s,” says Michael Petraglia of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. But it’s only recently gained traction, thanks to genetics. Most recent studies of mitochondrial DNA — DNA inherited from the mother — indicate that modern human populations outside of Africa can be traced back to one genetic lineage that originated in Africa roughly 85,000 years ago, according to Peter Forster of Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom. Sometime between 85,000 and 55,000 years ago, members of this founding lineage left the continent and branched out into the three main genetic lineages that are found in Eurasian populations today. By studying the diversity within these genetic lineages, researchers can estimate how far back in time these lineages evolved. Such studies indicate that humans reached South Asia very early, before Europe or North Asia. For example, Vincent Macaulay of the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom and colleagues reported May 13, 2005, in Science that the origins of the mitochondrial lineages of aboriginal populations living in Malaysia date to nearly 60,000 years ago. Because humans reached Southeast Asia and Australia before more northern locations, some researchers suggest humans likely followed a migration path along the coastlines of South Asia after initially leaving Africa and only later traveled through the interior parts of the continent. To reach the coasts of South Asia, humans had two possible African exit strategies. They could have left via a northern route from the Sinai Peninsula, heading north into the Levant, and traveling east across modern Iraq’s Zagros Mountains before turning south toward modern Iran. Alternatively, they could have left via a southern route from the Horn of Africa, crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and traveling across southern Arabia before heading directly into Iran. Leaving Africa via the southern route, proponents claim, explains why humans colonized South Asia so quickly in comparison to Europe and North Asia.
