Human History, Evolution, Extraterrestriality

According to the best evidence, the Human species did not originate on Earth in general, but at a specific location.  It spread out to all areas of the planet, and then began to integrate into a Cosmopolity, unified by telecommunications and rapid transportation.  But the arc of Human history transcends even that scope.  For, the origin of the species precedes that moment of appearance, preceding it in the guise of apes with less highly developed thumbs, for example.  And conversely, one fruit of that development has been the departure of some of the members of the species, into the territory of a new Environment.  So, when all the latest information is taken into account, previous prominent hypotheses regarding Human history--Aristotelianism, Medieval Theology--have become obsolete, not merely dubious.
