Everyone is African: How Science Explodes the Myth of Race
I think if we were honest enough to admit it, we are all bigoted in some way. Our gender or religion doesn’t really qualify us as superior to anyone else, but we tend to fall back on these identities and, consciously or not, assume they give us a reason to feel that we are not only in possession of a special truth, but that it grants us the privilege to feel better than others.
When we examine the issue of race, however, the bigotry is inherent because racial groups are inclined to assign superior characteristics to their own. It’s called human nature.
There is something else “human” that we need to address, over and above skin color, eye color, hair and other visible differences.

The bible says we are all made of one flesh.
If you throw that idea away, you just threw away
equality.
It’s not our similarities that cause the difficulties; it’s our differences.
No argument about all of us humanoids having a common, African origin. However, the different rates of evolution and adaptation of migrating tribes cannot be denied.
And it continues today. If you live next to bunch of noisy, rude, uncivilized, paid-on-Friday broke-on-Saturday, drunk or drugged, trashy, irresponsible people, your goal is to pick up and move someplace where you and your family can be safe and get some sleep.
The small block V-8 was not created in sub Saharan Africa. I rest my case.
Woo Hoo, Reparations for Everybody!
I think life showed up all over the Earth. Just because you find bones in a dry place does not me it all started there. It means the climate preserved the bones better then in other places.
“We’re ALL Out of Africa”
So do we get a rain check until the next shipment arrives?
The groups of humans that had to deal with more extreme yearly variations in weather and climate ie, More well defined seasons. Certainly had to adapt by being able to plan ahead, sometimes years in advance. This planning was one of the essential ingredients for developing a culture that valued creativity in dealing with environmental factors.
Meaning if you had to deal with seasons you either developed tools for dealing with them or you died out.
So, does posting something that attempts to correct another’s view imply “bigotry” or a “sense of superiority”? If so, then...
Oh, there you go, Grace, being all serious and stuff.
But I agree with you wholeheartedly on environmental factors driving adaptation and invention.
Some cultures evolved to the point of space flight.
Some still live in huts with dirt floors, and eat raw chickens.
The developmental delta between them is staggering.
I thought they had recently disproved that theory.
Sean_Anthony won’t be responding to anyone, he posts a link to his site, and then splits.
I want my slavery reparations, NOW!
The argument that "we're all one race" is practically worthless as far as explaining why some groups of people act different than other groups.
In his almost totally meretricious book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" Prof. Jared Diamond tried to prove that every group of people is as intelligent as every other group of people around the world. Nobody really believes that except ossified leftists and people who hate western civilization.
A better quest would be to find out why certain groups of the world's denizens have done far more than other groups in creating civilization as we know it. But then the issue of IQ would enter into the conversation. That's something leftists choose to ignore or seek to demolish. Except there it is.
When all the great thinkers in the world show people of sub-Saharan Africa or Australian aborigines with the same IQs as east Asians or Europeans, then I'll believe in the "we're all the same" theory.
That's because they were ALL the races, at the same time.
Which would average out to something akin to people from the Middle East—olive-skinned people?
The separation of the races was to come later.
I rest my case.
And we don't take back orders either.
Caucasoid
Mongaloid
Negroid
Australoid
I know that a university professor who was an anthropologist of thirty years experience was hooted out of a university. This was in the 1960's and in the United States. The perpetrators were students who objected to his statement that the four groups evolved separately. Some students! Possibly some of the same jokers who destroy people today for some slight remark about race.
The old Luftwaffe dropped a bomb on Swanscombe, Kent 1940. Excavations revealed the remains of a hominid who used tools. Swanscombe Man. He was 400,000 years old.
I remember a London, England, anthropologist on Canadian T/V a year ago. She was talking about anthropology and used the term "Out of Africa" ten times. She sure covered all bases with this. She was spared the usual politically correct ninnies who abound in Canada. Regardless of the whole situation, it seems to me that the invention of machine tools, stamps one group as distinct in one sense. This in living far better lives than many of the others. Not without some pain however, with the exploitation of the poorer classes ie:The Industrial Revolution. (Just a few thoughts here).
Actually, the latest science says we are not from Africa.
Virtually NOTHING was created in sub Saharan Africa, including written language or the wheel.
This article may be leftist propaganda, especially seeing as how we have recently unlocked DNA and anti-white leftists can no longer refute facts. It's actually an attack on real science.
