English Video

I was watching a video in English class was that very fascinating to me. It doesn’t take much to fascinate me. The movie was about our inheritance and how everybody originated from one group in Africa. It doesn’t matter what race you are there is a link in everyone that links them together thousands of years ago. The way they said it, there is no such thing as a race. Everyone came from one tribe that split into two. They described it as a big tree that branched off. Back then it was a lot easier to cross some countries because the water tides was low during the ice age times; they were able to walk across the island without many problems. Before the decided to move, they were almost exstincted because of the sever dry land. When they finally branched off they moved across the world. They ended up in Europe, China, Iraq, and many more parts around the world. Their skin color changed the further they moved away from Africa and they had to lighten up so that they could receive more of the sun rays. Darker skin blocks out more sun rays. The way that they became so different and distinctive was depended upon how they adapted to their environment and how they would be able to live. The part that was confusing to me was how they traced back where they moved and how they moved around the world. The thing that was amazing to me is how everyone has an African descendent. No race is no better than the other, so the whole slavery and other stuff was pointless and dumb and all the discrimination that in the world today is just ignorant.

  1. I think they did it by looking for people or tribes that are known to have lived in a place forever as they did with the bush people in South Africa. There a lot of people( tribes) who have not moved from a specific place for thousands of years all over the world.
