Isn’t it rather racist, to say that white Europeans are more “evolved” in any way, shape or form?
Of course, when you get right down to it, the whole “Out Of Africa” thing is racist, too, implying that the smart ones got out as it does, when you get right down to brass tacks.
Those infernal skull calipers are never far removed from this whole charade, whatever the intended political impact of the latest news in human “evolution” might be at any given moment.
I’m left to ponder the cranial capacity of the author, as a result. His having written “millenniums” doesn’t help, either.
Just checked a dictionary and the author is correct.
Didn’t Darwin originally say that black people were basically sub-human? Evolution is racist. Many of the “primitive” features of skulls are found in modern black/African skulls. Lower forehead, smaller chin, etc. Whenever a textbook shows a “primitive” skull and a “modern” skull it is always showing a white person’s skull for the “modern” one. It’s obvious to anyone who’s studied forensic anthropology.
.....are more “evolved” ....
that implies the creo canard that evolution trends toward perfection. The evolution in question is not more, it is instead the result of rather specific adaptations.
