I say the Asian remained an Asian and the African remained an African - and neither evolved into the Afro-Asian.
ecco
- Where did the Asian come from?
- Where did the African come from?
Let me rephrase that a little to make my question clearer:
Given Genesis and Adam & Eve and the Great Flood some 4200 years ago...
- Where did the Asian come from?
- Where did the African come from?
Also, what were the "separate infraspecific taxa that existed before them"?
Let me rephrase a little more to make the answer a little clearer.
Noah had three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. His sons had wives.
"Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber” (
Genesis 10:21), and this is important because the word
Eber is the origin of the Hebrew word for “Hebrew.” The word
Shem means “name,” which implies that Noah expected this son’s name to become great. He was right—the modern words
Semitic and
Semite are derived from Shem’s name. The Bible records that Shem had five sons: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram (
Genesis 10:22). Shem lived to be 600 years of age (
Genesis 11:10–11) and became the ancestor of the Semitic peoples (
Genesis 10:1,
21–31). Abraham, a descendant of Shem, is the first person in the Bible who is referred to as a “Hebrew” (
Genesis 14:13).
Shem’s son Elam was the father of the Elamites, who later settled east of Mesopotamia. Shem’s son Ashur, whose name is related to the word
Assyria, is most likely the father of those who settled the ancient region of Assyria (
Genesis 2:14). Arphaxad is thought by many scholars to be a compound form of the Hebrew word for “Chaldea,” which was a region in southern Mesopotamia (
Genesis 11:10–13). It was through Arphaxad that Eber came. Scholars believe that the descendants of Shem’s son Lud became known as the Lydians of Asia Minor. And Aram is identified by Bible scholars with the area northeast of the Promised Land, known today as Syria (cf.
2 Kings 16:6). The sons of Aram are listed in
Genesis 10:23. Of Aram’s sons, Uz is later referred to in the book of Job (
Job 1:1).
Noah’s firstborn son, Japheth, is listed as the father of Gomer,
Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras (
Genesis 10:2). Their descendants became the people who lived to the north and west of Israel and, after Babel, spoke what today are classified as Indo-European languages.
Ham, the youngest of the Noah’s three sons, had four sons: Cush, Mizraim (Hebrew for “Egypt”), Put, and Canaan (
Genesis 10:6;
1 Chronicles 1:8). Egypt was later called the “land of Ham” (
Psalm 78:51;
105:23;
106:22). The Hamitic peoples are shown in
Genesis 10:6–20 as becoming a godless and worldly power. It was the land of Palestine that was assigned to Ham’s son, Canaan, and for centuries it was under the control of the Egyptians. Ham is the father of the Arabians, Canaanites, and Africans, including the Egyptians. Due to Ham’s sin against his father (
Genesis 9:20–25), Noah
cursed Canaan, saying Canaan would be a servant to Shem (
Genesis 9:26). This was fulfilled centuries later when the Israelites entered the land of Canaan and subdued the inhabitants of that land (
1 Kings 9:20–21).
You would know the answer had you ever read the Bible. At no time did African or Asian evolve from single things. In all cases it begins with two separate infraspecific taxa. Male and female created He
them. If you actually understood genetics you would know the human genome is not improving - but is building up errors over time. leading to the inescapable conclusion that Adam was created genetically perfect - with all of the possible genetic combinations contained within his genes. These were separated when Eve was created. We therefore start with (two) separate infraspecific taxa. A+B=C and D and E, etc, since all combinations were then possible. At no time does A+A=B. All we need do is observe the natural world to see the validity of this statement. Asian mates with Asian and produces only Asian. B, C, D etc, etc is never produced until the Asian mates with an African.
Now, you are free to ignore the observational evidence that Asian never become anything but Asian and believe they evolve into other things. Just do not ask me to ignore all observations of the natural world to pretend your theory has any validity at all.
And now you should also know why it appears man came from Northern Africa - because the Ark landed in Turkey and where the sons of Noah began their dispersal across the earth. The sons of Mizraim (Ham) later went north and took over Canaan, which you mistake as a migration from Africa of all humans.
