Actually, it's a requirement. It's one of the mandatory components of what's called "white guilt", a.k.a. "cultural sensitivity", that all prospective Smithsonian's must suitably demonstrate before being hired.

I have seen photos of isolated Amazon tribesmen who seemed very light skinned, fine featured, and rather more caucasian than asian.
That's because they are not called "deer stones". That is, "yet".
It's an "alphabet tree".
Thanks for the re-post. I cannot believe that big-mouth me did not have a post on that thread...so, I must've missed it somehow.
It's a(n) heretical argument".
Heresy is dissent from revealed truth. He's saying that the non-superiority of Europeans is a matter of religion (his religion), and therefore not susceptible to proof or disproof.
He's also saying that those who collect data are heretics, and (presumably) therefore subject to the sanction of the "religious" authorities, which sanctions so far (fortunately) are limited to witholding of grant money and non-publication of papers, leading to nonpromotion and exile to real jobs.
Of course, as idiots like this import more and more of their co-religionists from Mexico and elsewhere, the sanctions for real scientists may become more severe.
Today's heretic is tomorrow's prophet.
That's the first thing I noticed on the thread about myself, lol. I stumbled onto it while searching for something else.
Maun-gua-daus (George Henry), Chief of the Ojibwa Nation, ca. 1846-1848
Maybe European DNA originated in North America and its possessors migrated eastward across the Helcaraxe...the Grinding Ice...into Northern Europe and then spread out from there.
Instead of calling whites "Caucasians", perhaps we should call then Gnoldorin.
"Of course, as idiots like this import more and more of their co-religionists from Mexico and elsewhere, the sanctions for real scientists may become more severe."
Wait.
So, paleontological DNA scientists are Catholic (since that's what they'd be to be co-religionists with the folks arriving from Mexico)?
Just askin'...
What is this guy saying?
He is nervous because there is solid proof that runs counter to the "politically correct" answers and agenda that has been forced down everyone's throats for half a century or more.
It makes him nervous because just by publishing this and doing this work, he expects the harpies of Political Correctness Hell to come out hopping all over his pale, pasty little balding head and make his life miserable.
That's not a pleasant prospect.
It's sort of like being a cartoonist who decides he's going to draw Mohammed doing obscene things and publish it. He might very well go ahead and do it, but he will worry, at least a little bit, that by doing this he's going to end up on his knees blindfolded someday getting his head sawed off by a serrated knife.
Not me. I'd just like to use it to dispel the myth that anyone's ancestors were all perfect angels free from sin and that holding people responsible for the sins of their distant ancestors or the sins of people that simply shared the same race is throwing stones in a glass house.
We're not paranoid here in the Ivory Tower. Nope, not at all.
Why repost such an old article now?
Years ago I heard they came in a coracle.
