TJ, you are confusing numbers with quality. You could as well say "all those ants emerging from somewhere". All non-Africans were superseded by a single African bloke who decided to move north about 30,000 years ago.
<the solution as all them males emerge from china to africa and elsewhere, and at some juncture, new zealand, to improve the food and up the service ;0) >
There are hordes of people including males in China, but that doesn't mean that they will populate the planet. Or that any particular one will replicate the feat of the chap from Africa.
Don't forget that there are only a relative few in China. 1 billion versus 5 billion of other varieties. That's barely a quorum and certainly not a majority.
New Zealand is mostly populated by refugees from warring over-crowded impoverished conditions all over the planet.
Rarotonga was the source of the first humans to NZ. A Cook Islands friend told me they use to have warring territorial tribes on Rarotonga. His tribe was from the Muri Beach area [now a hotspot for Zenbu Zones bringing modernity to the local yokels which includes a lot of Kiwis gone troppo].
They sailed around the Pacific Ocean, having migrated from Taiwan. They peopled Hawaii, as far east as Easter Island and down to chilly Kiwi islands where they set upon each other in greater numbers in cannibalistic conflict after a century or two of breeding prolifically as people did.
My ancestors arrived orphaned by disease [one lot], solo-mothered by a survivor of Prussian war with France [another], as Norfolk Island store keeper [another and family], as hopeful young adventurer, [a fourth]. That was the harshness of life back in the day. Journeys to NZ involved many burials at sea.
Once ashore, burials took place frequently too.
People arrived from China and Dalmatia and many European survivor zones. In recent decades the diversity of immigration has expanded to include Koreans, Japanese, Indians, Brazilians, Iraqis, Afghans and what have you. The common theme is that they are very pleased to find a relatively tranquil and prosperous haven from the world's marauders.
Unfortunately, few people understand what makes a place tranquil and prosperous so they vote to ruin what they like, and they do things which ruin the bliss of others and the goodness which they also like.
