You say your French Canadian meat pie is made with real French Canadians? I distinctly tasted Anglophone!

I'll have the curried homo sapiens tongue, with mango salsa, please.

And black Americans are interbred with whites, so they will in all probability have this haplotype as well.

Which ever group discovered fermentation first should be given credit.

I vote for the non-Neanderthal guys. They must have been the inventor of beer goggles so they would mate with those Neanderthal gals.

these scientists are saying non-africans are human, and africans are primates?

No real scientist is going to say humans aren't primates.

"Well, a little problem with that view, Noah and his kin were supposedly pure blooded and everyone else supposedly died in the flood. Unless he included a pair of First Persons in the ark."

Noah was described as a man 'perfect in his generations', but no such mention for his kin.

If you can make the case to the right people in the right places that giving your “group” special privileges will somehow give communists more power in America,

you might have a shot at it.

I hadn't heard that. A cursory search turns up no reference. Do you have a pointer you could share?

Didn’t Homo Sapiens originate in what is now modern-day Iraq?

“...non-Africans are part Neanderthal...”

My wife has been saying that about me for years.

An extremely thought provoking article and irrespective of one's take on it, deserves care in evaluation. I am a little suspicious of the usage of non-African as a term however. Perhaps I am spooked by so much political correctness that pollutes academia.

Had any anthropologist used the name Neanderthal, as an African characteristic they would have been ostracized and demonized. One is not supposed to attribute anything but a sort of Harry Belafonte, Sydney Portier Hollywood image of the black people. I should include the lovely Halle Berry.

The isolation of the Haplo Group or Haplotype only recently, enables entrepeneurs to trace one's nomadic ancestors. They get a swab from inside the cheek and then purport by a series of coloured dots trace one's long line of wandering.

Somehow Wikipedia does not tell me of the eminent anthopologist who was hooted and jeered at by college students in the 1960's. I do not want to be paranoid, but it seems to have vanished, that information. After thirty years of research, he just happened to think that the four groups of homo sapiens evolved in four different areas of the universe,

All he had to have said, was that the four groups that he had so carefully studied, all came from our old girl friend Lucy in Africa. Still, lots of interest here. We have learnt that Neanderthal looked after the aged and infirm (so it is said). One up for that species!

some members of my large Irish family look a whole lot like that Neanderthal child.

There's only one race, the Human one. Every other distinction is local and only amounts to variation of the basic type.

How does that concept fit with science documented in Charles Darwin's work "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life." published in 1859??

I tried to find it but it seems my memory from college was not so good. It seems that the spelling not the pronunciation is what changed.
The first such fossil was discovered in 1856 in the Neander Thal, or "Neander Valley" in German, and became known as "Neanderthal Man". In 1904, German spelling was regularized to be more consistent with pronunciation, and "thal" became "tal". In 1952 Henri Vallois proposed that it should be spelt as the Germans spell it, and the "-tal" spelling has become widely used since then. The "-thal" spelling persists most strongly in England.

'Neanderthal' can be pronounced with either a 't' or a 'th' sound - both are acceptable and widely used in English. The German pronunciation, however, has always been 't' (German has no 'th' sound).

I don’t think it’s safe to comment on this thread, so I shall refrain.

Mmhmm...

If he suggests that there are races within homo sapiens sapiens, then I guess what I’m saying won’t fit.

And if so, I couldn’t care less.
