The bible says we are all made of one flesh.

If you throw that idea away, you just threw away
equality.

[chesley]

It’s not our similarities that cause the difficulties; it’s our differences.

[Tigerized]

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.

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?

[Dutchboy88]

So, does posting something that attempts to correct another’s view imply “bigotry” or a “sense of superiority”? If so, then...

[Beowulf9]

I thought they had recently disproved that theory.

regarding the findings of DNA research, “According to their estimates, people worldwide differ on average by about 0.1 percent, evidence that all humans are genetically quite similar to one another.”

definitive assertions about the overwhelming similarities of all humans' DNA (99.9 per cent) by the leaders of the Human Genome Project were trumpeted as the end of racial thinking about racial taxonomies of human genetic differences. But the first decade of the new century brought unwelcomed surprises.

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 problem with well-meaning articles like this one is that yes, a person can believe there's only one race and still believe in innate differences between groups of people around the world.

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.

Say what you will about the geographical origins of Man, but the first humans weren't black.

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.

We’re ALL Out of Africa

And we don't take back orders either.

[Peter Libra]

This can be a touchy subject more so in my native country England and my adopted country Canada. It is absolutely politically correct to say we are all "out of Africa". I would presume the phrase may have come from a novel of that name. This is unless the woman novelist used such a phrase. I have seen these divisions.

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).

[CodeToad]

Actually, the latest science says we are not from Africa.

... Uh ... order some more?

Actually, I think we all came out of Eden. I believe that was in Iraq. Just my 2 cents.

If life originated in Africa, why was Madagascar one of the last places on earth to be inhabited? It is a huge island about 225 miles off the African coast. People were living in Australia , most of Polynesia and the bottom of South America before Madagascar was colonized from Borneo.

“Out of Africa” Theory Officially Debunked
...
“Scientific evidence refuting the theory of modern humanity’s African genesis is common knowledge among those familiar with the most recent scientific papers on the human Genome, Mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosomes. Regrettably, within mainstream press and academia circles, there seems to be a conspicuous – and dare we say it – deliberate vacuum when it comes to reporting news of these recent studies and their obvious implications.”
