The Black man is the original man. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
For those of us who believe in Biblical scripture, locating the geographical of the Garden of Eden would not be a difficult task. According to the Bible, a river went out from Eden to water the garden; after which, parted into four separate heads. The first head was called 'Pison' and it encircled the whole land of Havilah. Havilah is referred to as being a place where there was gold deposits. It also was a land where there was bdellium and onyx stone. The name of the second head was 'Gihon' which encircled the whole land of Ethiopia. The name of the third head was 'Hiddekel' which traveled toward the east of Assyria. The fourth head was called 'Euphrates'.
The first two heads clearly describe the exact location of Eden as being in Africa. The first clue is the names 'Pison and Gihon'. These rivers are the Blue Nile and the Nile, which are located in Africa. Both the Jewish historian Josephus, and the 11th Century Bible commentator Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac have agreed to this fact. The second and most revealing clue is the names Havilah and Ethiopia. Havilah is modern day Djibouti or Somalia, and Ethiopia's location is obvious.
There is overwhelming evidence to prove that Africa is the birthplace of the Homo sapiens. Archeologists have found the oldest human remains in East Africa. In 1967, a team of world-renowned archeologist including Richard Leakey excavated two skulls near Kibish, Ethiopia said to be 200,000 years old. In 2003 at a news conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on the issue concerning the discovery of even more human remains, Dr. Berhane Asfaw said, "This is the definitive answer to whether humans evolved from Africa." "Ethiopia is the Garden of Eden," Asfaw said, as he unveiled one of the skulls from the archaeological dig. "The whole history of human evolution is here."
The most famous remains found in Ethiopia was Lucy a three and a half million-year-old complete skeleton that was discovered in 1974. Archaeologists working in the country have also discovered a skeleton dating back 5.8 million years. The latest finds which scientists have named 'Idaltu', meaning 'elder' were made in a desolate area 224 km miles northeast of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. Scattered across the same area were thousands of stone tools, including hand axes, along with the butchered bones of hippopotamus and antelope their staple food.
