"I still don't understand why they think human life started in only one or two places and then spread to other continents."

Because the mitochondrial DNA for everyone outside of Africa is more or less the same. Which implies that they have a common female ancestor. There is more variability in Africa itself. Which means non-African populations came from a relatively small group.

This is called the Out of Africa or Eve Hypothesis.

But isn't that rather bizarre? Doesn't it play into the whole ID thing? That man comes from the very place the bible says we do.

Actually, using only males, the DNA of a single common male ancestor has been traced around the globe. A PBS Documentary essentially stated that it is now proven by DNA analysis, that all races today share the DNA of a single male who lived long ago.
