Arabica coffee originated in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a coffee-producing country with many legends, numerous varieties, rich orange fragrance and many fresh things, and there is no second country in the world that can compete with it. Ethiopia's long coffee history and cultural scenery have attracted a large number of explorers, archaeologists, botanists, anthropologists and writers to Fangze. The sleeping lion of Africa suddenly awakened after the millennium and let out a roar, not only to deter Brazil from stealing natural decaf coffee trees, but also to fight Starbucks' theft of the original coffee origin names, such as "Harald", "Sidamo" and "Yega Chuefei".

Ethiopia has forcefully settled the two international disputes of "stealing trees" and "stealing names", so that the world dare not underestimate the ambition of the descendants of the Gella nationality to protect the coffee heritage. First of all, let's start with the ancient entanglement between the ancestors of mankind and Ethiopian coffee.

Whether by providence or coincidence, both humans and Arabica coffee trees originated in Ethiopia. In 1974, a group of paleontologists unearthed 4 million-year-old Australopithecus fossils in Hadar in the Afar Desert in northern Ethiopia. although they belong to apes, they are the most ancient human ancestors, and it was not until 2 million years ago that they evolved from apes to "Homo erectus." The brain capacity of the unearthed Homo habilis skull is about 700 million 800 milliliters, and it has been able to use simple tools. 1 million years ago, he evolved into "Homo erectus" (including Beijingers). With a brain capacity of 1000 milliliters, he was able to make more elaborate tools and use fire. 120000 years ago, it finally evolved into a "modern man" with a brain capacity of 1300 milliliters. Genetic studies have also found that today's humans are descendants of "modern people" who were active in the Ethiopian highlands 120000 years ago.
