Yes: If the external features tell us how far a man is from the ape, then black people are lower than whites.
However, this folly is also deceptive: external feartures are not uniformly distant from the apes for each so-called race. Example: though most black people's skin is darker than most white, for some, that is not the case. Also, whites are hairier than blacks, in general, which is a characteristic of the apes.
The truth is that God created all creatures to reproduce after their own kinds. No evolution has ever occurred, and will never occur. It is a myth created by people who don't want to think about facing God on Judgment Day, because they don't want to repent of the sins they do today.

There are definately some racist scientist that used IQ testing and race as a reason to purpose a reasoning to justify inequalities and the mistreatment of others. You should check into the Pioneer Fund, and read about race on Wikipedia. You will be surprised to know the first people considered to be white were from Asia. The Asians also have the highest IQ scores.

Some peoples interpretation of the data may be, but not the science itself. Evolution supports the fact that species adapted to their particular areas due to natural selection. As such groups of people are different. Australian Aborigines have the largest average molar size, while Scandinavians have the smallest. This is due to the foods that the different groups ate, and the teeth adaptations needed to process them. Also skin color varies according to where the group lived and developed. Is the suggestion that people are different racist, no it is a fact, people do have adaptations that have allowed them to live in their ancestral homelands more successfully than without the adaptations. To say that acknowledging differences is racist is just inept, they are factual adaptations to their ancestral homelands.

Not at all. Why does reality have to be racist? We have to be taught lies to not offend anyone? For instance blacks like to say how the oldest skull was found in Africa. it is true but the fact is with the age of the skull, black people were not even in that part of Africa, they were in northwest Africa(between Liberia and west Nigeria) Ethiopia at the time was mainly a semitic people and the skull has more similiarties with arabs than any other race but is not an arab but is said to be of a now extinct people. Also the skull is not said to be even orignally from that region since it was a single skull. Even today Ethiopia are not the same type of black people as other parts of Africa. Ethiopians are a mixed hamitic, semitic and slightly bantu african which explains why they dont look like your average african and they dont even speak and african language

Why? evolution doesn't say that one race is more advanced than another. Only that humans start out in Africa and the Middle East.

The scientists will gather the information and prove or disprove certain theories, the wise will read these theories and make up their own mind, the idiots and bigots will use these facts, twist them around and prove their own theories, then try to jamb them down your throat. This is the price of progress.

To James B:
Scientists don't have issues with humans coming out of the African continent, religion and folks with racial supremity issues do. Science employs reason, religion and personal beliefs don't always do the same.

Evolution is a science. All humans belong to one race, the human race. It is racist that separate us base skin colors.

JSB2 hit the nail on the head (I wish it would have been his head)
Are you kidding me?
No human evolution is not racist, we all have the same origin and evolved seperatly in different enviromental conditions, thus variation...

anthropology believes that 'races' are a social construct not a biological one. Evolution is referring to species (ie: Homo sapiens) not races. The reason why 'races' is deceiving is because there is no line between them, its a gradient.
