Genetic Evolution EvidenceGenetic Evolution Evidence
In 1987 geneticists at UC Berkeley (Cann/Wilson) analyzed partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence (less than 7%) of different people worldwide and found more genetic mutations among indigenous Africans than any other people.
Max Ingman, et. al., at the University of Uppsala in Sweden recently described global mtDNA diversity in humans based on analyses of the complete mtDNA sequence of 53 humans of diverse origins.

The Migration of Man The Migration of Man
The origin and dispersal of modern humans, Homo sapiens. The time of origin of modern humans is not well known but may have been about 200,000 (130,000–465,000) years ago.

“The African Eve”“The African Eve”
The UC Berkeley geneticists postulated that the entire population of the modern world was descended from a relatively small group of people that left Africa 100,000 years ago.
This group postulated the “African Eve” theory (Newsweek), that every human being alive today carries the mtDNA of just one African woman (Lucy’s cousin) or a small number of female African ancestors who lived more than 10,000 generations ago.

Imhotep the Physician Imhotep the Physician
This great African physician was deified in approximately 2850 B.C.
Imhotep was the first person known as a doctor throughout the world and acknowledged as the god of medicine 5000 years ago.
Some 2500 years before a Greek laid claim to this same title.

Conclusion of Evidence Conclusion of Evidence
Thus, we have Fossil, Linguistic and Genetic evidence that persuasively point to the conclusion that every person alive today is descended from modern humans (Homo Sapiens) that existed only in Africa until approximately 100,000 years ago.
The origins of humanity, civilization, intelligence and modern medicine (Imhotep) have evolved from Africa.

The Roman-Greek Contributions to Racism
in Medicine
The teachings of Galen (c. 130-201), a famous second century Roman physician of Greek origin, were accepted as sacrosanct by teachers of Western medicine for 1500 years.
Galen promoted the racist concepts of Black physical and psychological inferiority in his teachings and writings.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act, hospital desegregation court rulings, passage of Medicare and Medicaid and the health centers movement, all created a “Civil Rights Era” in health care for Blacks.
This initiated the Second Black Health Reconstruction Period from 1965 - 1985.
