I thought this interesting as it shows that Europeans were not originally light skinned and that evolutionary adaption to the colder, UV deficient environment brought about changes in skin pigmentation. Lactose tolerance was also an adaption necessary to stave off disease cause by Vitamin D deficiency.

But what about making the noses smaller, and other physical traits?

Pure speculation, nothing more. Skin color is only a few base pairs in the DNA, by mutation or inherent DNA. Prove it scientists, they can’t.

While I agree that the need to synthesize vitamin D is a crucial adaptation for Europeans, the biggest driver behind the evolution of European creative genius and planning is the very harsh fact that in Europe you have 4 to 5 months to prepare for 7 to 8 months of starvation in winter. For hundreds of generations many fools died every winter.

Now...explain the hair.

The bone structure differences.

They’re trying oh, so hard to convince everyone that they are really black...then, they come out and want to kill everyone that has white skin.

Must be the Chicago syndrome.

This is just another example of political science, they no doubt feel they’re undoing racism by making presumed racists descendants of those they presumably are racist against. Truth be told it’s all adaptation to regional climate and the “original” human beings looked rather like Middle Easterners, with black people gaining additional melanin to protect them from intense sun, and white people losing it to get more Vitamin D from the sun. That doesn’t score any SJW points though, so we’ve all got to be originally black for them to feel good about themselves.

Hungary is NOT a "SOUTHERN" European nation and never was. Also, IF ( which is hooy! )they were originally "dark skinned", then just HOW did so many of them wind up being blonds with blue, green, or grey eyes? They certainly didn't get those genes from the invading Huns from the East! ;^)

Yes, there ARE "dark" Hungarians, but that describes hair color!

And since they have discovered human bones, in China, that are far older than the most ancient human bones found in Africa, this whole "story", as far as I'm concerned, is suspect!

And though not names, this report claimed that "MIDDLE EUROPEAN" nations (Austria, Poland,The Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Germany all fall into this category, if Hungary does! ) are peopled by a whole lot of pale, blonde blue eyed human beings and have been for thousands of years!

Also in this report, they claim that only the ancient people of the Scandinavian nations had pale skin and hair...perhaps brought to them by INDIANS/people from the Steps of Russia? THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL!

If one believes in evolution, then by default, one must also believe that races can be quite different in IQ, sociability, strength, etc...

If every other species evolves different traits according to their environment, then why not humans?

It is the great contradiction and hypocrisy people ignore.

So when did Whites evolve the Privilege Gene?

Obviously the gene can't be inherited in mixed-race marriages, such as when Obama's white mother couldn't pass it on to him because his other parent was non-white.

I guess it must be a recessive gene.

It’s not as simple as a lesser amount of sunlight. Cold weather requires an indoor lifestyle, which further cuts down on sunlight. Fortunately, it also favored technological smarts, to keep everybody warm and the food preserved and to defend the home and tools and other assets.

This is why IQ is criticized by some, because the tests are designed by historically technological races and subraces and therefore emphasize math and science ability and logic.

IQ is self-defining: It simply means what is tested by the test. The score is a ratio of the test taker’s result in the age range of scores over the test taker’s age, times 100.

There are different kinds of intelligence. I once thought that might be whitewashing things for social purposes but now in my later wisdom I see that it is true. Two cultures can only understand each other in the area in which they overlap.

Re: “Surprisingly, the team found no immune genes under intense selection, which is counter to hypotheses that diseases would have increased after the development of agriculture.”

That is very interesting to me.

I have always been very skeptical that imported European plagues wiped out 95% of Native Americans by 1600.

It will be interesting to compare ancient Native American immune genes to European immune genes from the same era.

Unfortunately, it is my understanding that very few Native American remains have survived from the Pre-Columbian era.

I wonder what the angle is, of this article.

Somehow, with blaring anti-white sentiment in the media, I would expect this article, in one way or another, direct or indirect, to take a shot at honky.

All this article does is remind me that there is no more powerful force in the world than race hatred.

And it’s mostly directed against whites, because when you take away our achievements, there’s not much civilization left.

Noah had three sons. After the flood they parted ways - one went toward Asia, one to Africa, and one through the Middle East and into Europe - just about 4500 years ago...
