When were the first findings of Africanus?
150342
The species of Australopithecus africanus was named in a February, 1925, issue of Nature by Raymond Dart
271985
The evolutionary link between apes and humans was thought to have been found in 1994 in Ethiopia. The species was given the name Ardipithecus ramidus. It was dated to 4.4 million years ago. However there were earlier remains found to date back to 5.2 to 5.8 million years ago. However, these findings still recieve a lot of scrutiny in the anthropolgy world today.\n\nAnd anyone who says the Earth is 4000-5000 years old is an idiot and forgets that science is real and the proof is readily available!!!

It was discovered by Antonio Ingognito, in 1983. He had a good idea it would be where it was because his Lonely Planet book said so. Other people had discovered it before but they weren't explorers.

Since before recorded history.  There has been evidence of slavery found in the fossil record.

The Egptians have had writing for as long as anyone.  The Greeks, Romans, Vandals and Arabs all recorded their history in writing.\n\nSouth of the Sahara history was an opral tradition, although there are references to Africa in Greek, Roman, Arab, Indian and Chinese writings.\n\nThere has been a European colony on the Cape of Good Hope for about 400 years, so that history has been recorded.  Apart from that, there have been regular European contacts for about 600 years.

Of course! Actually the HIV virus was first detected in a species of African monkeys. Also, animals used in lab testing are known to have contracted AIDS.

IT WAS FOUNDED IN AFRICa> LIKE THATS WHERE IT WAS FIRST. IF THAT HELPS? VOTE ME AS BEST ANSWEr.

It was Thales of Miletus, 635 BC - 543 BC who first described it. Ben Franklin missed this discover by over 2000 years.

I am curious as to who the "they" is that you are referring to...\n\nCurrently there are two theories regarding the origins of modern humans, "Multiregional" and "Out of Africa".\n\nThe Africa origin theory is pretty well supported with fossil, artifact (tools, etc.) and DNA evidence, the multiregional origin theory has less evidence (currently) but this should not completely discount it.\n\nThe first link has more on the differences between these, and examines the evidence in more detail. The next two provide some examples of the competitiveness of this debate.\n\nKeep in mind that proponents of either theory are well aware of human evolutionary history and understand that current evidence suggests the first upright primates DID come from Africa (see last link)

sf49rox, I think you should have referenced the entire paragraph you cut and paste from the Wiki article on albinism, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albinism\n\nThere are several types of albinism, but if you mean who first saw a person with albinism, then it would be the Portuguese invaders who came to Africa, and called the dark persons Negros (black men) and the lighter ones Albinos (White men), thinking they were two separate races.

homo erectus ("upright man") got its name because scientists thought it was the first to walk erect.  The current fossil record indicates the first primate to walk erect was australopithicus africanus.

Scientists said Thursday that they had discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology’s most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity’s greatest sources of strife. \n\nThe work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned. \n\nThat person’s offspring apparently thrived as humans moved northward into what is now Europe, helping to give rise to the lightest of the world’s races. … \n\nThe newly found mutation involves a change of just one letter of DNA code out of the 3.1 billion letters in the human genome—the complete instructions for making a human being. \n\n“It’s a major finding in a very sensitive area,” said Stephen Oppenheimer, an expert in anthropological genetics at Oxford University who was not involved in the work. “Almost all the differences used to differentiate populations from around the world really are skin-deep.” … \n\nThe discovery, described in today’s issue of the journal Science, was an unexpected outgrowth of studies that study leader Keith Cheng and his colleagues were conducting on inch-long zebrafish, which are popular research tools for geneticists and developmental biologists. \n\nHaving identified a gene that, when mutated, interferes with its ability to make its characteristic black stripes, the team scanned human DNA databases to see if a similar gene resides in people. \n\nTo their surprise, they found virtually identical pigment-building genes in humans, chickens, dogs, cows and many other species, an indication of its biological value. \n\nThey got a bigger surprise when they looked in a new database comparing the genomes of four of the world’s major racial groups. That showed that whites with Northern and Western European ancestry have a mutated version of the gene.\n\nSo, what does this mean?  It strikes a blow into everyone, from the racist white right to the black nationalist left, who seeks to elevate one race over another.  In short, we are all niggers now. \n\nBut here’s a thought.  If white people came from black people, and black people were the first people on Earth, and God made man in His image, then God is black.  Chew on that one for a while.
