Question

Trace the migratory root of human species.

Accepted Answer

More than a hundred years ago Charles Darwin suggested in his Descent of Man, a common ancestry for apes and humans based on their similarities in anatomy and behaviour. A great diversity of human form and features makes us great confused about the origin of human races. Human races have a yellow, black and white or brown skin colour.

But all human individuals belong to a single species. It had been proved by using tools for tracing evolutionary relationship like excavating, time dating, studying fossils as well as determining DNA sequence. The earliest member of the human species, Homo sapiens has appeared about 300,000 years ago. Our genetic footprints can be traced back to our African roots. From Africa, they migrate slowly to West Asia, then to Central Asia, Eurasia, South Asia, East Asia, then to Indonesia and the Philippines to Australia.
There is no single line of migration. They went forwards and backwards.
