Ancient Egyptian Kings Weren’t From Africa

Scientists Map The Genome Of Ancient Egyptian Kings, And They Weren’t From Africa


The first ever genetic analysis of mummies found that ancient Egyptian kings were more closely related to West Asians than Africans, according to a study published Tuesday by scientists at the Max Planck Institute.

The research found that ancient Egyptians were most closely related to Neolithic Levantine, Anatolian and European populations. The mummies tested did not share strong genetic links to Africa often found in modern Egyptians.

It’s further evidence that ancient Egyptians were genetically different than modern day residents. Scientists largely agree that ancient Egyptians were indigenous to the Nile area, but a vocal minority of “Afrocentric” scholars claim that the area’s ancient population was entirely African.

Those scholars claim ancient Egyptians were similar to Sub-Saharan African cultures, arguing that famous Egyptian rulers, including Tutankhamun and Cleopatra, were more African than Caucasian.

Didn't we ALL come from Africa? I mean, that's settled science, and incontrovertible, right?

Oh, wait, NO, long-held scientific "facts" are wrong yet again.

The history of human evolution could well be rewritten … indeed scientists would have discovered that Europe is the cradle of humanity, not Africa.

At present, most experts believe that our human bloodline separated from monkeys about seven million years ago in Central Africa, where hominids remained for five million years before venturing further.

However, two fossils of a monkey-like creature that had human teeth were found in Bulgaria and Greece, they date from 7.2 million years ago.

The discovery of the creature, called Graecopithecus freybergi, and nicknamed “el Graeco” by scientists, proves that our ancestors were already beginning to evolve in Europe 200,000 years before the first African hominid.

An international team of researchers reported that the discoveries completely changed the beginning of human history and replaced the last common ancestor, both chimpanzees and men (the famous missing link) in the Mediterranean region.

At that time, climate change was transforming eastern Europe into savannah, which forced monkeys to find new resources, triggering, according to the researchers, a shift towards bipedalism.

Wait, that last paragraph shows there's MORE. By evolving, humans started global climate change 7.2 MILLION years ago!!!! It's all our fault.
