>The Kingdom of Aksum (also known as the Kingdom of Axum or the Aksumite Empire) was an ancient kingdom located in present-day Eritrea and the Tigray Region of Ethiopia.[2] Ruled by the Aksumites, it existed from approximately 100 AD to 940 AD. The polity was centered in the city of Axum. It grew from the proto-Aksumite Iron Age period around the 4th century BC to achieve prominence by the 1st century AD, and became a major player on the commercial route between the Roman Empire and Ancient India. The Aksumite rulers facilitated trade by minting their own Aksumite currency, with the state establishing its hegemony over the declining Kingdom of Kush. It also regularly entered the politics of the kingdoms on the Arabian Peninsula, and eventually extended its rule over the region with the conquest of the Himyarite Kingdom. The Persian Prophet Mani (died 274 AD) regarded Axum as one of the four great powers of his time, alongside Persia, Rome, and China.[3][4]
Ethiopia wasn't that bad during its time.

Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia were all part of ancient kingdoms with close ties to MENA, Europe and Asia. They are genuinely interesting places, especially their position with regards to early Christianity and Islam.

West, Central and Southern Africa are almost totally devoid of anything noteworthy.

Whether Homo spent time in Asia, Europe or North America a million or two years ago has no effect on reality that Sapiens replaced Neanderthals and Denisovans in Eurasia starting around 80k years ago.

I'll give you another attempt to answer the original post. Well?
>>
>>3229190

It changes nothing that we know about the events of the last 100000 years eg. expansion into Eurasia from Egypt.

It may potentially have deeper implications for earlier epochs or it may not. We might not know for decades.
>>
>>3229200
It changes a lot half wit. Have you ever considered that people migrated into Africa as opposed to originating from there?

>>3229132
>>3229143
Correct me if I'm wrong but that doesn't anything about the origins of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, only hominids in general. Homo Sapiens Sapiens still came out of East Africa with a bit of Neanderthal admixture in Europe
>>
>>3229208
[citation needed]
>>
>>3229202

But we already know that Sapiens replaced Neanderthals, not the other way around.

Whether the common ancestor of Sapiens and Neanderthals lived in China, Poland or Zambia has no implications here.

There's this weird racist belief held by some, that the reason why Yuros and Asians are smarter than Africans is because of that Neanderthal admixture. I don't really get it, but it is out there.

Oldest homo sapian sapian found wasn't in east Africa but morroco. Don't you /his/lets ever read and get caught up with current events?

>Oldest homo sapian sapian fossile almost 300k years found in morroco
>Oldest pre hominid fossil found in Europe around 7.2 million years old

There's no concrete proof that homo sapian sapian came from Africa with all the historical/archeological finds coming out.
>>
>>3229213
It does pertaining to the original question.
>>
>>3229224

But we know for a fact that Sapiens replaced Neanderthals. You can't autism that away.
Middle East used to be Neanderthal land just like the rest of Eurasia west of Altai.

Your forgetting that in reality Black Africans are a mix of lesser and unknown hominid creatures which explains why they're low IQ. Generally simple.

We know that the oldest fossile of homo sapian sapians wasn't found in east Africa but the Maghreb. Your autism is believing everything is set in stone for the origin of humanity. Too bad you're a half wit.

Why does a population of apes have to contribute anything?

You are aware that implied in your question is the weight of Western civilization's obsession with utilitarianism the last 400 years right?

Maybe you should ask a different question instead. Something like: "Why did genocide start happening in Africa only after the West started to colonize it?"

Then you would've actually sounded intelligent.
>>
>>3229259
This is true. Blacks in Africa are like gazelles in Africa, they're fauna, wildlife. I'm not sure why anyone finds their lack of accomplishments offensive and wants them to be like us, or even ends up hating them for it.

It doesn't make a difference where specifically the Sapiens line was prior to even the first deep branching inside it which resulted in proto-San/Khoisan.


It has no relevance to the reality of the last 100000 years. Sapiens expanded to Eurasia from Egypt.

But if they were from Outer Space, they'd be taller because of the lack of gravity, yet they were shorties.

No, the only logical conclusion is that they came from a subterranean world, and that it was actually us who came from space.

Who gives a fuck who contributed what? Is the sole purpose of every group of people to produce something of value to you? Fucking collectivist, seriously.

the correct answer is nothing and that's why you can't answer OP.

so they contributed nothing of value?

What do you define as value? Because depending on your definition, less then 0,00001% of humanity would've been important or literally everyone would've provide some value.

>>3229136
>to human society
what the fuck does this even mean? they contributed to their own society. they created a civilization of their own, with its own society, economy, state and culture. They contributed to the lives of their own people. They traded with other nations on international trade routes of the red sea and indian ocean. International trade is beneficial for other societies, because you provide commodities to other societies that might not otherwise have access to it in their own lands.

Don't know man...hard riddle...must have something to do with free masons and the Western tradition of blabla.
Besides I really doubt that tribes didn't commit total genocide on each other before we had any written testimony of it, they just did it on a much larger scale since they were...you know...fewer.

Hold it you uneducated buffoons, look at this. This is the skull of the species Nyanzapithecus alesi, specifically an infant.

https://www.wfdd.org/story/discovery-ancient-skull-sheds-light-ape-ancestry

This is an ACTUAL pre-hominid, as Graecopithicus was not only a great ape (hominid), but also is most likely not a hominin. In fact, the link I gave gives the theory that Nyanzipithecus might even be one of the earliest true great apes.

A hominin is a group of apes that include the following: Humans and their extinct relatives in the genus Homo, chimpanzees and bonobos from the genus Pan, Australopithicus/Paranthropus, and other bipedal apes related to the above. Hominids are great apes in general. By the way, we have evidence that apes existed all over Africa and Eurasia that are even older than Graecopithicus or Sahelanthropus (the African ape that is about the same age as Graecopithicus that may be a true hominin). But considering we only found teeth instead of an actual skull or other bones, you can't jump to conclusions saying that because one ape's teeth were found in Greece/Bulgaria means that it's the first human ever.

>>3230833
pretty convienent they find a skull older than graecopithicus months after it was discovered. I wonder (((who))) benefits from this and if (((they))) want to keep the charade going.
>>
>>3230934
That's how science works you fucking brainlet. Did you really think Graecopithicus wouldn't be contested like every other controversial fossil? Hell, some scientists think it's actually Ouranopithecus instead of a new species.
