How did human beings come to occupy our entire planet? Sciences of geology, climatology, biology, anthropology, physics, and genetics have made it possible to identify the geographical region in which humanity began, the approximate dates when our ancestors left the place of origin, and the general patterns of migration that led to settling the entire Earth. This course will introduce students to the general patterns of settlement, ongoing discoveries to refine the story, and the sciences...
- Students will learn a historical overview of human origin in Africa followed by a general pattern of migration by which we came to occupy the habitable parts of the Earth.
This subject is part of world history that I teach routinely to college freshmen. I have also written on the topic in two books I have published that dealt in part with the relationship of science, the Bible, and religious beliefs. They are "Talking Back to the Bible: A Historian's Approach to Bible Study" and "Values, Truth, and Spiritual Danger: Progressive Christianity in the Age of Trump."
