Biblical Genetics | Was Africa the Cradle of Humanity? @biblicalgenetics8838 | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The idea that Africa was where humans originated has been drilled into our heads for decades, but cracks are beginning to appear, and they are being published by well-known scientists in top-level journals. If it is not true, how can we explain the data from a biblical perspective? To do that, we can turn to any number of ideas, including patriarchal drive, inbreeding, differential mutation rates, selective sweeps, differences in starting population sizes among the modern world populations, higher rates of recombination in the sub-Saharan population, and massive waves of migration into Africa (several of which can be documented) later in history. The biblical account fits the data beautifully.

Support for this channel comes through my friends (most of whom I have never met in person!) via Patreon and BuyMeACoffee:

Patreon is more for long-term support and BuyMeACoffee is more like a tip jar, but either one works just fine!
