It's got nothing to do with being obvious, any more than any of the other scientific theories are obvious. What is obvious is that earth is flat and that Apollo rides across the sky daily in his flying chariot, creating dawn, noon and dusk. It took many hundreds of years of calculations (and thousands of years of unproductive speculation and myth) before it became clear that the earth was not only round, it revolved around the sun. The Out of Africa theory is no more obvious than Newton's laws of physics. It took a lot of research into the fossil record in order to determine that this was in fact the case. As to primitivity, that's just silly. Blacks aren't any more primitive than whites, yellows or browns. If they were more primitive, we wouldn't be able to interbreed, any more than lions are able to breed with house cats.
So I've always understood, and accepted. But how do you square that with this finding? Do you think this finding is false? Based on what?

What good points you make. You are right! I see the light now. Blacks aren't more primitive, thanks for correcting me /sarcasm
But seriously, did I not make my point clear enough? I didn't say I think blacks are "primitive", I clearly said "blacks are perceived by so many as being so primitive". Why are you arguing with me on that? In post #3 you said essentially that all Chinese think of them this way. So you don't really disagree with me.
