why is Africa the home of man?

The fossils of the earliest human-like primates (australopithecus) have been found in the Rift Valley, and there is also evidence for the emergence of our own species (*** sapiens) in Africa. Whether *** sapiens actually spread from Africa or from a number of locations is debated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution

Sorry, I was expecting, not sexpecting. Freudian slip after a few glasses of wine?

Are we to assume that the asterisks in Mosaic's reply are due to censorship of '***'? If so, let's see how this comes out...

[chakka35]

Yes! How utterly ridiculous! We cannot now describe our own kind. The word I was referring to, of course, is the Latin for 'man' and is an anagram of 'moho'.

Yes, it's one of the down-sides of network monitoring being done by a program instead of a person. One such product sold to schools will ban all of Jane Austen's works because of the reference to a fashionable hand-warming garment - the muff - worn by ladies of the 19th century. Let's see if that word too gets starred out.

Yes, why Africa. Whats it about the African landscape than enables humans to evolve from the primitive organisms. Its obvious that the seeds were planted by extra intelligent beings from another planet and the tropical heat made the hatching more suitable.
