Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cradle of Humanity
and source, it's a term I've certainly heard of (in my case, most often in the context of the Tigris/Euphrates confluence in old Mesopotamia). Strong keep, actually; I'd consider this a much more significant and encyclopedic article than the vast majority of WP's pop-culture pages. Some sources to start with: http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2005/07/05/could_asia_have_been_the_cradle_of_humanity/ "Could Asia have been the cradle of humanity?", ''Boston Globe'', July 2005; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2978800.stm "Oldest human skulls found", BBC News, June 2003; "Africa, the Cradle of Humanity", ''Humanist Perspectives'', issue 156, Spring 2006, "Asia, the Cradle of Humanity", ''National Geographic'', August 2001; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2909803.stm "Tanzania, Ethiopia origin for humans", BBC News, April 2003; http://www.africawithin.com/jeffries/africa_birthplace.htm "Africa: Birthplace of Humanity", Dr. Leonard Jeffries, africawithin.com. However, I don't think we need to capitalize "Humanity" -- we're not talking about the proper name of a specific place, so Cradle of humanity seems more compliant with #Lowercase second and subsequent words in titles|WP naming conventions
