Hi there. I'm new here just drop by to give some answers, hope it would be helpful. Nope, it's not a speculation but base on the previous human activities recorded which is the Mesopotamia (and Sumeria in some areas nearby) also known as Iraq in the present and Mesopotamia at that time covers almost all part of the present Arabian continent. I studying about it since im taking degree in history For more info: try google on mesopotamian and sumerian ppl

As for how other race came out and how they were created, it's simply through the process of evolution by adaptation like those who in the African continent which have darker skin since they are exposed to sunlight more than the other continent of the world. In addition, their pigmentation system help them enduring the heat from the sunlight unlike those with lighter skin which live in different part of the world.

On hw they were sinned, that is a religion topic. Which i must say, one of the doctrine believe by many Christians these days but not all of them (etc. Orthodox). In Islam for instance, they dont believe in the concept of 'inherit sins' since the koran taught them that every human carry its own sin and others are not responsible with other ppl sins (the same goes for Judaism). Ive been studying this during religion class and one of the famous question asked by many regarding the inherit sin believe by the Christians was if a baby died without being baptized (meaning the baby is carrying the sin of adam) therefore he/she will go to hell for the sin they have never done and knew with? and there was a silence.

to shoot the middle east theory to bits and pieces, earliest human remains is found in africa.

but of course the religion of the people indigenous to middle east has to say that the human race originated from there

Owh yea, u r rite bout that. Sorry for not mentioning bout that. It's true if it's about 'human' remain but what was i pointing was about the oldest human activities recorded that we preserved till now which is the Mesopotamian and Sumerian ppl. They were the earliest civilizations ever recorded in history.

Gee, thanks for telling me about the khomursan culture but im not sure if it's still being consider as civilization. (i must take notes on this anyway, many thanks) during history class we learned that civilization doesnt have proper definition since it's different among historians.

For instance western historian define civilization as follows:

As for historian like Ibn Khaldun which his theory we focus on during history class, civilization is define as follows:

(about why is Mesopotamia and Sumeria being considered as the earliest civilization)

If u have any evidences regarding the earliest civilization other than Mesopotamia and Sumeria mentioned by historians pls do tell me. I too, want to learn more

erk, i dun mean to be mean but can pls read back my early post? im pointing about early civilization frm the beginning. I mentioned about human early recorded activities. Did i mention early humans in Africa are not human? @__@ well, some historian agreed to be human means to be civilized (as for ur question, it depends on which definition of civilization u r talking bout). After all, that what's human all about that makes us different frm any being.

nope, not a secondary school level of understanding of civilizations. This is part of the learning in history lesson at university. Indeed, they are many more civilizations in this world, like the Maimonides, the Canaanites (group of ppl which later on form a civilization in ancient Palestine) but they arent famous when it comes to civilization, AND please do read first before saying im saying it's the only early civilization? they dont come at the same time. U r trapping me by using my words so that ppl will tend to look as if im saying Mesopotamia is the ONLY early civilization im talking about? I talk based on what i learned, frm what have the lecturer taught us. You?

Sounds like planet of the apes to me. My answer will be no. Why? because no matter how much u trained an ape to be like a human it will never be. Im curious if there's any domesticated ape in this world in the first place to be compared with? If u have one pls show me then we can do the comparison
