re: #158 Jimmah

I noticed on the American Renaissance site a link called “A Skull That Rewrites the History of Man” - it’s a story that appeared recently in the UK newspaper “The Independent”. The article suggests that man may have done some of his evolution in Eurasia after leaving Africa, and then returned to Africa to complete his evolution before leaving Africa again and populating the rest of the world. However, the comments on that thread are full of racist morons denying that the human species came out of Africa period. It seems these creeps really need to believe that there is something genetically special about Europeans that is not shared by Africans.

Whats interesting is that humans are still evolving. I saw a magazine article that looked at the mitochondrial DNA (from the mother) and the Y-Chromosome (from the father), and used that to trace exactly where we all came from, and they found that somewhere in Eastern Africa, is where all modern humans originate.
