We are all Africans? And some of our ancestors moved north and developed white skin? What else did they develop? The ability to make the most of their environment? Since Africa is the richest continent in terms of resources, why aren’t they the most developed?

Evolution, FWIW, is already at the saturation level you imply. There’s no need to wait, Dick. People have sized you up and found you and your sophistry quite wanting...

Sometime in the next 15 to 30 years, the Kenyan-born paleoanthropologist expects scientific discoveries will have accelerated to the point that "even the skeptics can accept it."

I seem to recall people saying this for the last one hundred fifty three years or so.

Yeah, when you get down to the cellular level, we can clearly see the random chance involved...and how there is NO WAY a designer could have acted.

People eventually will (and mostly have) accepted evolution, the way they accepted the heliocentric view of the solar system, or the Galilean version of gravity. Science marches on, because people are fundamentally curious about the nature of the universe in which they live. A narrow, unscientific world view based on a moralistic story from the Bible does not satisfy that deep curiosity, nor does it provide any answers to the burning questions many of us have about the nature of the world and the universe.

The only reason that anti-scientific objections to evolution persist is that a bunch of charlatans are taking advantage of the poor state of science education in our schools to essentially sell nonsense. And yes, I do mean sell: Gish, Behe, especially Hovind, all get money from going around peddling anti-science.

The guy is talking about changes and genetic differences due to selective breeding -races. That is not the theory of evolution.

He needs to show the world evidence that man evolved from slime to prove the theory of evolution.

The theory of evolution is atheism’s religion and they hope their religion will be the only religion of the new world order.

I remember reading THE BONE PEDDLERS by William R Fix years ago. It told how scientific discoveries had better fall into alignment with current evolutionary thinking or you don’t get grants, recognition or publishing.

Some discoveries have been suppressed because they don’t meet the template of modern evolution.

I don’t agree with his idea of how things “evolved” but the rest of the book is really interesting.

Is it Leakey’s old age that results in something like this: “then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.”

In other words, he has no pretense of following established scientific process - and thereby PROVING evolution, he only intends to browbeat fellow “scientists” until the opposing views are banished.

"...we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive," Leakey says, "then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.

But remember, you are NEVER to say that Darwin's theory is used to promote social agendas.

I seriously doubt this debate will ever be over.

Evolution is a bizarre self-entertainment.

Stop right there. This makes two Kenyan born idiots we don't need to listen to.
