Anthropological science/studies today exists primarily to find any theory to discredit whites and western civilization from any claim of being first or best etc except at crimes of humanity and racism...we are of course masters of that while everyone else was living bucolic green lives in Eden

the only whites who get a pass on this are oddly...the Indians...curry, not Creek

i watched that rehashed who came to America first on NatGeo and they were about ready to do a circle jerk over Polynesians in Chile or even Baja or all those hilarious claims about Chinese junks from some 1700s map that was “copied”....they swear

and it made them cry to even admit the only proved (so far) pre Columbus was Erikson....sort of a footnote

i actually went on some sites about that topic...being curious by nature...sites all teeming with anti-white bigotry....they dismissed Clovis-Solutrean theories as white supremacy yet were ready to endorse Polynesian chicken bones and sweet taters as gospel..yo

i know some of yall here are really all over this stuff...blam, civ, cronos(still here?) but today..damn...how do ya weed thru all the crap

i’ll stick with my 1958 Britannica for now thanks..

well, firstly, to claim any "race" as best or worst is stupid in my opinion. Genes take you so far, but individuals count -- the Battle of Isandlwana when the Zulus armed with spears defeated the Brits armed with rifles is a case of sub-saharan africans having superior tactics for example.

Anyway, there is no "white" civilisation or "white" race -- there is the race of Caucasians and the sub-grouping of Indo-Europeans/Aryans. There is no over-arching "white" civilisation -- the Italics, Celts, Iranis, Slavs, Indics, Germanics, etc. have been separate civilisations for millenia.

It's a fact that the Sumerians were trading with Egyptians, Bahrianis and Indus valley civilisations. The Sumerians were God-knows which race, though I'm inclined to believe blam's link about them being related to Dravidians as were the people in the Indus valley (a Caucasian civilisation). The Egyptians in the Old Kingdom were definitely a mixture of Berber with Ethiopic-Semitic blood, later kingdoms having Sudanese blood. The Chinese of course, had their own race. The sub-saharan africans -- the ground was too inappropriate for civilisation to spring up, ditto for Amazonia.

The Clovis-Solutrean hypothesis could have happened — but then again, those peoples were not Indo-Europeans but the predecessor (or “original” Europeans). I don’t agree with anyone dismissing it off-hand
