Commenting on the new discovery of Kira
westaway's group, scholars such as Shackelford and Petraglia (2) said that
"The H. sapiens group represented by fossils found at Tam Pa Ling may be
extinct." “The latest research adds to the idea that there were earlier
and more widespread migrations of modern humans. It's putting a very important
dot on the map of migration."
It's confusing because archaeologists, like
an occupational disease, often focus on the site under study and have little
connection to the surrounding sites, causing them to see Tam Pa Ling as an
orphan site, do not contact other addresses in the area. If we look at Tam Pa
Ling in relation to other sites, we will have a different opinion.
It is true that there were earlier
migrations of modern humans. It was the first departure from Africa 130,000
years ago. People from Northwest Africa came to the Levant but were destroyed
by cold here 90,000 years ago. Time II: Leaving Africa 125,000 years ago,
10,000 people from the Red Sea Gate went to the Arabian Peninsula and then went
to the East. It is impossible to know the route of this migration. Only know
that, in the final stage, they were destroyed at Zhirendong Guangxi (116–106
kyr); Lunadong Guangxi (127–70 kyr); Hunan Fuyan Cave (120–80 kyr);
Huanglongdong Hunan (100–80 kyr). There is absolutely reason to believe that
the 86,000-year-old bone fragment in Tam Pa Ling, Laos is also part of this
second wave of people leaving Africa! Both of these migrations were
unsuccessful.
The remaining 3,000 people went south. About 500
people went to Australia. Thus, of all three trips out of Africa, only the
third one was successful, creating humanity outside of Africa. Thanks to
archaeological discoveries of valuable remains in Tam Pa Ling and Liujang, we
know that migrants came to Southeast Asia. At the same time, examining the DNA
of the world's living population, genetics discovered a miracle: African
migrants came to Vietnam and created humanity! Reviewing the migration process,
we see that of the 10,000 people who reached the Island of Borneo, 4,000 people
went to the South Pacific but were unsuccessful. Later, from rare fossils, it
was known that a small number of people reached Australia. The 68,000-year-old
Australoid skull at Lake Mungo, Australia, proves this. It can be guessed that
a few people survived to later integrate with the stream of migrants from
Vietnam to Australia 50,000 years ago.
So, 83,000 years ago, 20,000 people left the
African Ancestral Land on an aimless adventure for 13,000 years so that 6,000
people could reach Vietnam! It can be considered the only group that succeeded
in this third exit from Africa. From those 6,000 initial seeds, 50,000 years
ago gave birth to 100,000 people from Vietnam who went out to dominate the
islands of Southeast Asia, the South Pacific, Australia and India. 40,000 years
ago, 40,000 people from Vietnam went to mainland China, giving birth to the ancestors
of the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and indigenous people of the Americas and
10,000 people went to the West, giving birth to the ancestors of the Europeans.
Discovering
that miracle is not the merit of archeology but of genetics. In fact, in
Vietnam's soil and climate conditions, human remains buried in the ground only
exist for about 30,000 years! Therefore, it is common sense that the remains of
people who set foot in Vietnam 70,000 years ago have turned into dust. For
archeology, it is a depth without trace. All the archaeologist's measurements
are meaningless! When the archaeologist's measure is powerless, the geneticist
appears, helping us reveal the secrets that nature hides in our blood. Thanks
to genetics, we know that 70,000 years ago our ancestors were born from the
intestines of African migrants!
A question
naturally arises: Without the remains of 70,000 years ago, would Hoa Binh be
recognized as the first human cultural site outside of Africa? The answer is no
longer within the authority of archaeologists but of geneticists who sequence
the DNA of our blood!
Even if the
bones of 70,000 years ago cannot be found, Hoa Binh is still a great and sacred
site marking the first human settlement outside Africa, creating humanity
today. That's why Hoa Binh Culture is a brilliant milestone in human history!
