Uhhh, I think you have order of events a bit wrong. Getting through the
Palestine desert areas was a tough go. The Y-chromosome DNA research I
saw recently has one leaving of Africa through Yemen 50,000 years ago with
that DNA showing up among the Tamils of southern India and in Australian
Bushmen. Then the second exodus takes place 40,000 years ago through
Yemen again (easy crossing) and thence going to Central Asia, somewhat
near Afghanistan. From there modern humans went west to become the
Basques and other early inhabitants of Europe and east to become the
Asians. The Chuckchi of Siberia relate well genetically to "Native
Americans". The DNA shows the minimum immigrants to North America would
have been three males and seven females.

The San people of south central Africa appear to have the oldest DNA.

Of course, that's just using genetics, science, archaeology, and all
those other pseudosciences, not belief in little green men and other
myths.

It is absurd to believe that man, if indeed we originated on earth,
could change colors like a chameleon. There might be minor changes
due to various factors but it's absurd to think that it could've
caused a distinct difference in skin color from red to yellow to white
to black.

Duh. You have your chronology entirely backward. Man evolved in Africa and,
over the course of many hundreds of thousands of years, spread first into
Europe, then Asia and North America. Most racial differences evolved to deal
with the differences in climate.
