Blacks, Whites and Asians have different ancestors

Postby Ikarouss » Fri Nov 30, 2012 10:31 am

Blacks, Whites and Asians have different ancestors- and did not come from Africa, claims scientist

Geographer claims the races evolved from different ancestors


In a paper widely trumpeted and due for release in book form, Akhil Bakshi, the leader of a recent major scientific expedition supported by India’s prime minister, claims that “Negroid”, “Caucasian” and “Mongoloid” peoples are not only separate races but separate species, having evolved on different continents.

I have always believed that there are several distinct human subspecies. What do you think?

Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save us. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it.

So blacks, whites, and Asians don't have different ancestors.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Nope, just an anonymous quote from a geographer.

I think Bottle is going to mop the floor with you.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

No, genetics seems to disagree with you, very strongly.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

More seriously? Yes, there are differences between races, but it's still the same species.

Economic Left/Right: 9.45
Social Authoritarian/Libertarian: 8.78

Bakshi has become a self-declared champion of a minority scientific view called “multiregionalism”, which claims that modern humans evolved from separate hominid populations. Hominids encompass all humans and the ancient family of human-like ancestors, including large-brained ancient ancestors and unsuccessful species such as Neanderthals.
However, Bakshi — who has no training as an anthropologist — has linked to this model a theory that these populations evolved according to the genetic material left behind when the prehistoric supercontinents, the northern Laurasia and the southern Gondwanaland, broke up. An influential figure in India, Bakshi is also a filmmaker and author who has led four major scientific expeditions since 1994. Bakshi admitted to the Sunday Times that “some of my points may prove to be wrong, and may be seen as politically incorrect.

Try to read your own source...
your article wrote:A public claim by a fellow of the prestigious Royal Geographic Society that humans did not all come from Africa — and that blacks, whites and Asians have different ancestors — has been dismissed by world experts as “dangerous”, “wrong” and “racist”.

Most of the complaints against Wikipedia do not stand up to reality. A study was done comparing inaccuracies within Wikipedia to inaccuracies within Encyclopedic Britannica. It was found, on average, that Wikipedia had 2% more errors, give or take. I'll try and find the study, it was posted on another forum I frequent a some months ago.

Because no scientific theories that we now hold have ever been rejected by the mainstream at the time.

I already posted it.


Besides, OP's source is from 2010 and has no data. It's not grounds for a proper debate. Move along, folks.
