I've heard this numerous times. I myself have briefly looked in and out of this topic back and forth. The Evidence seems to be there. What do you guys think.

We have no evidence that these people we come from were black or blue or whatever else. Yet we are fairly sure they were from Africa.

Thats what most Anthropologists say, and archeology seems to go with it also. I just want feedback. What do you guys no about the beginnings of man. But i still don't understand what Feanor is trying to say.

Surmount, you will also have to take into consideration, that we humans, as a race, do not know exactly what may have occured millions of years ago. We only have "tidbits". And like i stated before, there is with out a doubt, no evidence that shows we didnt come from that great region.
 
Which also brings up a question.
 
Since there is unsurmountable evidence showing that our race Did originate in Africa. Should we all acknowledge it as our "Cradle", and respect it in every possible aspect?

Well if we find  out that its true. Then We should just except it. I mean we all came from somewhere. I have yet to take Anthropology. But from what I hear  they basically teach Africa is the cradle of civilization. Then through time the Africans spread out to other regions of the world and physically adapted to the climate they traveled to. Overtime They physically started changing to fit there enviroment. When they moved more north to what is now known as Europe there skin lightened due to the lack of sun year around, there noses grew thinner which would be better for that enviroment. When they moved to the modern day Asain regions they began to overtime physically change for that region. They thefore adapted smaller thinner slanted eyes good for the windiness and climate of that region. This is just some of what i basically heard. I guess that's part of what they teach.

what im saying is that black doesn't = African or vis versa.  so one can say we all come from Africa, but that doesn't mean black. Nor is "black" a uniquely African thing, there are many racial types that are not clearly associated with African 'Negroid' types. Which I am assuming, your inferring in your posts. Since Africa has more than one racial type you cannot assume any one race as the 'root' race of everyone else. It would be much more complicated than that.

Your not very clear in what you mean, can you make a better effort to build your position.


(FYI im deleting your double posts)

Exactly! Bones do not give you a skin color of the individuals, maybe because such a trivial thing does not matter. Just another Afro-Centric propaganda drive.

Another fact, as Leonidas pointed out. You have populations in southern India that would look "black" as the poster of this thread surely would identify them if he knew not that they were from India.  Skin color changes, and is not constant in populations, given enough time it can change to improve the survivability of a certain population.

As far as I know modern man appeared in Africa in a people very similar and closely related to the Khoi-Sans.
 
From them derivated all the so called races: the Bantues (Blacks), the Horners, Middle Easters, East Asians, Europeans, Australoids and Amerindians, all derivate from the same group of proto Khoi-San peoples of East Africa, perhaps in Kenya.
 
If Khoi-Sans are Black or not Black is not as important as to notice the following. If we look at them carefully we can find in that group of humans features of all the races of the world.

I agree completely... I recommend you Steve Olson "Mapping Human History". This books helps a lot to understand the development of human "races".

...And there! You've all come to the same conclusion as everyone else has, for over hundereds of years, so what was the point of discussing it?
