Does anyone have any information about the "4 waves out of Africa" theory?

Well, I'll admit my knowledge of West Africa isn't exactly top-notch, but my first thought when I hear Nigeria is the 419 email scheme. (See source for more info.) Not exactly a great PR booster.

I found these 2 articles that will hopefully help.  You should honestly check out www.allafrica.com they have a lot of Africa's papers conglomerated.\n\noff our backs, July-August 2005 v35 i7-8 p4(2) \nKenya: all-women village thrives. (news)(Brief Article) Priya Verma; Sara Schoenleber; Carol Anne Douglas; Rachel Pleatman; Jen Mainville; Annsley Chapman; Jennifer Chapin-Harris; Tess Mueting. \nFull Text: COPYRIGHT 2005 Off Our Backs, Inc. \n\nSeeking to escape domestic violence, rape, forced marriage, and other abuse, several dozen women have founded a matriarchal, women-only village that is drawing both economic prosperity, and hatred and jealousy of local men. \n\nThe village of Umoja, meaning "unity" in Swahili, was founded 10 years ago on an abandoned plot of land among dry grasslands. Their dung-and-mud huts are built in a circular pattern and house several dozen women in a thriving and happy village. The women have built a cultural center, a camping site for hikers destined for the nearby Samburu National Reserve, and a business making and selling traditional beadwork necklaces. \n\nIn response local men tried founding their own, men-only village and tourist center. The tourism plan flopped and the men have turned to spying on the women's village, filing a court case to try and shut down the village, and physically attacking the women. The village leader, Rebecca Lolosoli, has even received death threats after attending the recent United Nations world conference on gender. \n\n"We do not have peace in the village now. These men are so angry because we have money and we do not give them any," said Lolosoli. \n\n--info from Worldpulse Magazine 7/05, news.telegraph 8/1/05 \n\nnews compiled by Priya Verma, Sara Schoenleber, Carol Anne Douglas, Rachel Pleatman, Jen Mainville, Annsley Chapman, Jennifer Chapin-Harris and Tess Mueting \n\nAfrica News Service, March 24, 2005 pNA \nSpeed Up Empowerment of Women, Kenya Urged. \nFull Text: COPYRIGHT 2005 Africa News Service.

The AU recognises that there can be no meaningful development without women's participation," she said. \n\nKenya has not ratified the AU Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People's Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa that was adopted in 2003. \n\nThis protocol is a regional supplement the UN Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. \n\nIn her opinion, as long as Kenya remains reluctant to streamline policies and laws that promote gender equality it will be difficult to catch up with developments in Uganda and Tanzania. \n\n"How can we enter regional integration when our laws, policies and political systems are not harmonised?" she posed. \n\nCopyright The East African Standard.

Don't know yet, but lots of wild theories and mathematical approaches being tried (some, via\nhttp://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/search?p=4%208%2015%2016%2023%2042):\n\nhttp://www.d.kth.se/~dicander/lost.html\n\nhttp://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3

Don't know. However there have been a lot of scams involving banks that supposedly exist on the African Continent.

A wacko theory of Fred Hoyles.\n\nHoyle, who is currently dead, was a very good astrophysics guy. He did a lot of work on stellar structure. He also had a theory about the origin of the universe called the Steady State theory which was a scientific rival of the Big Bang. Eventually a lot of evidence came in supporting the Big Bang, but Hoyle could never shake his belief in Steady State.\n\nThe same thing happened with evolution. He didn't think it was true - not for religious reasons - but he simply didn't believe the evidence. Towards the end of his life he was really losing it, and was very much along on science issues. He even thought the Archaeopteryx\n(http://images.google.com/images?q=archaeopteryx&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest)\nwas a fraud, based on absolutely no real evidence.\n\nHe thought that life originated in space, and that complex compounds in space would rain down on planets and seed them with life. There is a serious discussion as to whether or not that helped or caused the origin of life on Earth. Right now that is a minority opinion (I don't agree with it), but not a wacky one.\n\nHoyle though went further. He thought that the fossil record, which to others shows clear and solid evidence of evolution, really recorded changes that occured after "space storms" that lead to massive amounts of space chemicals falling down and mutating existing animals. He even though that human noses point down because that way we are less likely to inhale space born chemicals!\n\nHe got attention for this idea, which is nuts and based on a complete lack of understanding of genetics, among many other things, because of his excellent scientific work earlier in his career.\n\nHe was a nut, but in more ways it was sort of a tragic case. Parallelling Einstein in some respects (Einstein didn't have such wacked out ideas) but both were stuck at dead ends at the end of scientific careers that started out very well.\n\n\nOh, in terms of looking on the internet you need to be careful. Panspermia is one of those ideas which is very popular with scientific cranks. So make sure you have a real science source before taking it seriously.

My favourite theory so far is the eruption of gas bubbles in the region, whether from instable methane hydrate or other sources.\n\nThe effective density of water gets reduced when gas bubbles are pushed through it, causing ships to sink.\n\nAircraft might be affected, too. Most Bermuda Triangle mysteries are about uncommon disappearences.\n\nThis won't explain any temporal or spatial displacement stories, but proof for those is shaky, IMO.

I don't think anyone has. Some years ago, I read about this topic at a web site called weirdsience.com (or some such thing). The hyposthesis in that article was that wave energy (light, electrons, and so forth) push from all directions. However, only a certain group of wavelengths can fit between a fixed set of points, based on the separation distance. For example, fewer wavelengths can fit between the Earth and the Moon than can fit between either body and the rest of the Universe. Therefore, there are many more waves, hence much more energy, pushing the two bodies towards each other than pushing them apart. On other hand, there is some evidence that gravity is conveyed through a supposed graviton particle. But such a particle has not yet been observed. Short answer, gravity is still one of the major mysteries of physics.

The currently-favored theory has to do with Milankovitch cycles:  periodic variations in Earth's axial tilt and orbit that cause it to oscillate between cold and warm epochs.  \n\nThe theory seems to work well, but it has some holes; it can't explain all the ice ages of the past million years, nor why most of the planet's history has been ice free with only a few glacial periods.  In short, there's a lot we don't know about what causes ice ages.

No, I'm Not. but, here's an interesting theory as to their Guidance System to Find Earth; The Pyramids of the Eastern [Egypt] Hemisphere, and of the Western [Mexico , Central America] Hemisphere are Aligned in Such a Way, and Constructed of the Proper Materials that the Energy of the Earth's Magnetic Poles are Naturally Focused Upon the Pyramid Structures. The Claim is that the Earth Resonates at an Inaudible Frequency of 8 Hz. That, combined with the Polar Magnetic Energy Focused onto all of the Earth's Pyramids Generates a Beam of Energy which can be Detected Far Out into Space, well Beyond Our Solar System. NASA Supposedly has Proof of this from Voyager I and II , which are both beyond our Solar System. Supposedly there is also Proof that if the Pyramids had been only a Few Miles Apart from where they were Built, and not Made of the Same Materials of which they were Built, they would not be able to Emit an Energy Field that can be Detected, Perhaps Light Years beyond Earth! If that's all a Coincidence, along with the Prehistoric Drawings of Space Vehicles found on the Walls of Caves in France, then so be it. Also, Read the Bible, "Ezekiel saw the Wheel, way in the middle of the Air"

I used to love this theory as well, but apparently it's not too popular in the scientific community.  I'll try to find some links.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ape_theory#Objections_to_Aquatic_Ape_Hypothesis

Wow!  There are lots of theories.  \n\nYou should find these links quite helpful.  Sorry this answer may be a bit late for you but I hope it is helpful.\n\nHere are some good links.

There is a woman scientist now exploring an indentation of rock (forget where) who claims there is evidence that just about everything, including and especially human beings, are from outer space.  She has been denied funding repeatedly, she says, because of bias and religious protection.  I wish I could recall the name of the show...it was on The Discovery Channel about a month ago.  Pretty interesting premise for those of us that do not subscribe to the available written texts concerning how life came to be on this planet.  Honestly tho, I don't think we will know any time soon.  In the case that the major religions are wrong, everything we know would be upturned and there would most likely be chaos among all people.  Maybe it's better if we're left to wonder.
