A Mad Scramble Into the Unknown — Babel or Bust

Tracing global migration patterns reveals a consistent pattern: all identifiable lines of ancient human movement radiate outward from a single point in the Middle East, with cultures becoming progressively more primitive the further they traveled from that center.

This pattern held true across every continent studied — Africa, Australasia, and the Americas each show the most technologically primitive groups located furthest from this central point of origin, exactly as would be expected following a dispersal from a single source.

Far from requiring vast ages, researchers estimate that early post-Flood migrants could have covered thousands of miles within a matter of decades — matching the relatively rapid, worldwide dispersal described in the biblical account of Babel.
