Africa is typically said to be where the oldest remnants and such of human civilization have been. I'd say that humans originated in Africa and then some immigrated to the middle eastern area, then spreading into Europe and Asia. From there we only started going farther. Some probably sailed from Africa to South America and that's how people such as the Aztecs and such started off. As we got farther away from the hotter, drier, Equator-y area of the world we slowly lost melanin(the chemical responsible for the color of our skin) and depending on our environment adapted to fit in better in certain places. Some got taller and some shorter. The first blonde and/or blue eyed people were considered albino because we all originally were dark colored with black/brown hair and eyes. About 25% of this is all just me making assumptions about how we immigrated away from Africa, but still. My apologies for the long answer and going off on some tangents.
