Over the past few decades, explorers have found traces of lost cities submerged deep in waters that once stood witness to legendary epics like the Mahabharata.

Over time, scientists have opinionated backing claims, on how humans evolved from Africa (before migrating out into the rest of the world), based on evidence gathered.

The region extended from Kanyakumari in the North, to the far west as Madagascar and nearing the East Coast of Australia.

But, going by the Kumari model, a result of the advanced study by A. R. Vasudevan, one would have to believe that humans never evolved in Africa. In fact, they originated on a continent in the Indian Ocean which was known as Kumari land.

The ‘model’ of human origins argues that the Kumari land was claimed by the sea around 14,000 years ago, which was a region so huge that it connected India to Africa and extending southwards into the Antarctic.

A. R. Vasudevan in his work ‘Aryans: Who are they?’ ascertains that the evolved species of humans migrated out of Kumari land and populated the rest of the world; taking two routes, one West into Africa and East into India.

This lost land according to Vasudevan was called Kumari or the Lemuria continent
