Thanks for that link - interesting reading.

I am Irish. Why are you so insulting?

Because I am also Irish.

Yes, that's possible. The royal families don't necessarily have the same ancestry as the general population and intermarriage has long been a way to practice politics. Like others have said, it would be good if they published the findings.

Here is the distribution of Homo erectus, a pre-human species.

Check it out. This is what I mean about proto-humans all originating out of Africa. I just think that they migrated in different waves that go back further than we realize.

“ATLANTEAN GARDENS”?????

What is this site?

There is no question mankind originated in Africa.

The only legitimate questions are did “modern man” simulataneously evolve in three continents (unlikely), did modern man interbreed with earlier types of hominoids which had evolved from earlier migrations out of Africa like Neanderthals (highly likely) and, if so, what degree of impact did that have on non-African “modern” man, and at what point in the past did “modern” man outside Africa diverge from African populations.

Nice to see that what we have argued about for years is coming around to our side.

"Here is the distribution of Homo erectus, a pre-human species."

I believe in this book, Extinct Humans that Homo erectus is considered human.

I looked for my copy of the book but was unable to find it.

Yes...I can understand that approach; we can use the definition of species regarding ability to mate, and we most likely would have been able to, therefore we are one species. However, there were clear enough differences in brain capacity and skull morphology for the anthropologists to give H. erectus its own designation. IMHO, I would consider it another species and not a subspecies or race.

I could be wrong, but then again...
