re: #314 Obdicut

You have read the one where the white upper class antiquarian uncovers the ancient secret of the dirty filthy white race, right?

Basically, it says all white people came from vicious giant white apes raping Africans.

Funny thing is, there might be a seed of truth in there. The first representatives of Homo Sapiens to leave Africa must have been black. Somehow or other, their descendants, the Asians, Europeans, Amerinds, Australian Aborigines, Solomon Islanders, New Guineans, and all, share Neanderthal genes not found in those of pure African stock.

The Neanderthals were bigger than we, and they must have been white, for had they been dark skinned, they would have had trouble with vitamin D deficiency, living in cloudy, high-latitude Europe.
