Who's this "our"? Is the author implicitly excluding Africans from her audience (or whoever she's talking about), or do I have the timeline wrong and the aforementioned interbreeding ancestors went back to Africa, and then the "Out of Africa" expansion happened?
- throwaway894345 7y ago"our" refers to homo sapiens. Even if she weren't, many (most?) Africans probably have ancestors who were not born in Africa at some point.
- IGotThroughIt 7y agoI don't think this topic can be discussed without people getting touchy. Best avoided in my opinion.
- pessimizer 7y agoAs a black person of African descent, I feel confident in saying that the group called homo sapiens, of which I and all of my ancestors for millennia am a part, expanded out of Africa into new environments.
