This is obviously wrong. People (Homo Sapiens) did not originate independently in different parts of the globe, but originated in Africa and migrated from there to the rest of the world.
This does not refer to the genetic mutation aspect of the species, but rather the linguistic development and the development of later phenotypes (i.e. phenotypes with varying complexions). The Arabs arrived en masse in Egypt just about 1,000 (circa 600 CE) years prior to the Dutch/French colonists arrived in South Africa (circa 1600 CE) and spawned the Afrikaans, Boers, Charlize Theron, etc.
