There are two leading geographical origins of humanity within mainstream evolutionist though. Firstly, is that modern humans ([[homo sapiens]]) arose in one place, namely Africa. The second view is that a pre-modern human [[specie]] migrated out of Africa and evolved in another part of the world.

The second view is that a pre-modern human [[specie]] migrated out of Africa and evolved in another part of the world. There is fruitful evidence of the first view because modern homo sapien types of fossils can be found in Africa, actual stone tools and other modern human inventions lend credibility and lastly the [[DNA]] evidence which suggests an African origin.<ref>[http://www.actionbioscience.org/evolution/johanson.html Origins of Modern Humans: Multiregional or Out of Africa?] Donald Johanson</ref>

An alternative model of human origin put forth by creation scientists uses the biblical account of the [[global flood]] as its interpretive base to describe the geographical region from which humanity originally migrated and populated the [[Earth]]. [[Noah]] and his sons, [[Shem]], [[Ham]], [[Japheth]], settle the land of the [[Mount Ararat|mountains of Ararat]] or what is modern day [[Iran]]. The biblical account puts forth a [[Table of nations]] to comprehend the dispersion of peoples during those ancient times.

[[Noah]] and his sons, [[Shem]], [[Ham]], [[Japheth]], settle the land of the [[Mount Ararat|mountains of Ararat]] or what is essentially modern day [[Iran]]. The biblical account then puts forth a [[Table of nations]] to comprehend the dispersion of peoples during those ancient times from Noah's three sons.
