The African Origin of Modern Humans
The overwhelming scientific consensus is that Homo sapiens first evolved in Africa around 200,000–300,000 years ago. Fossil evidence and genetic studies strongly support this. One of the most famous early fossil discoveries was found in Ethiopia, helping confirm East Africa as a key region in early human development.
Genetic research into mitochondrial DNA — often referred to as the “Mitochondrial Eve” theory — shows that all living humans share common ancestors who lived in Africa. Over tens of thousands of years, groups migrated out of Africa and gradually populated Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.
How Did Skin Colour Change?
Early humans in Africa had dark skin. High levels of melanin protected against intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
When some populations migrated to regions with lower sunlight — such as parts of Europe — lighter skin gradually evolved. Lighter skin allows the body to produce vitamin D more efficiently in areas with weaker sunlight.
This was not a sudden change. It happened slowly over thousands of generations through natural selection.
So Is the Statement Correct?
In a broad evolutionary sense, yes:
• All modern humans originated in Africa.
• Early humans were dark-skinned.
• Lighter skin developed later as humans adapted to new environments.
However, it’s important to understand that race is a social construct more than a strict biological category. Genetically, humans are remarkably similar — we share about 99.9% of our DNA regardless of skin colour.
The Bigger Picture
Rather than separating people, modern genetics shows how deeply connected humanity is. Differences in skin colour are relatively recent adaptations in our long evolutionary history.
