 "So far the evidence that we have in the world points to Africa as the Cradle of Humankind." George Abungu, Director-General of the National Museums of Kenya. Most of the available scientific evidence suggests Africa was the continent in which human life began. We can however never be absolutely sure. There is always the possibility of fossil discoveries being made in another part of the world, which could make us believe otherwise.  Listen
to Thabo Mbeki, President of South Africa, on the contribution of the continent
towards the development of humanity It
is in Africa that the oldest fossils of the early ancestors of humankind
have been found, and it is the only continent that shows evidence of humans
through the key stages of evolution.Scientific techniques, ranging from fossil identification, radiocarbon dating and analysis of DNA - the human genetic blueprint passed down from one generation to the next - all support the notion that Africa, and in particular the eastern and southern regions, is the cradle of humankind. Listen
to Origins Of Humankind, the first programme in the 大象传媒 landmark radio series The Story
of Africa, presented by Hugh Quarshie |
