It's almost like they want to commit suicide. I am caucasian myself and I think that it is fine that I may have African in me. If you believe in Evolution, you will be believe in Mitochondrial Eve and that she is the mother of all humans and that she came from Africa and that as humans we all migrated from Africa to other parts of the world. Also, I actually took a African Studies class and you would not believe how much History African americans have yet we are all made to believe that Blacks have no history. They dont teach it in grade school, all they say in regards to blacks is they were slaves etc....Please respond sincerely!!!

It is amazing how racist some of you are. I need a real answer. Thank You!!!

That is probably the best answer, a racist cannot answer sincerely without being biased. So because history was not written during a specific time, that means those people were insignificant?

"Mitochondrial Eve" or Lucy did not have features like any of the 3 racial GROUPS (caucasian, *******, mongoloid) on earth now. "She" had goldish-tan skin bec of the climate, and "her" facial features could not place her in any one of these 3 racial groups. Lucy did not have ******* features-she wasn't "*****".
Secondly, 1.8 million years ago, there were no names for anything or any place on earth( it wasn't called africa.)
There are many anthropologists that believe the other theory of evolution--that man's origin didn't develope from just one homonid stock nor in one location. Get a good anthropology BOOK to read about the 2 theories. Internet info is too opinionated and changeable...I personally haven't decided which theory I believe yet,
These are facts, but you have the right to believe what you have been told...

Smell the roses, I believe you because your right. WE AS HUMANS ORIGINATED FROM AFRICA. I have never come across any white people that find it hard to believe, though (unless they are religious). The very first humans were african, not humans like we are today but less evolved, eventually the human population grew and started to spread over hundreds of years , some went to Europe, Asia, Middle East, whereever a human went they had to develop the skills to live in that area. The ones that went to Europe did not see much sun which is why over time their skin became lighter so when they did see the sun their body was able to absord as much nutrients as possible. HENCE THATS HOW WHITE SKIN DEVELOPED. Those that eventually made it to Asia, are said to be the most healthy because of the tropical environment gave them optimal conditions to live and grow food.
Anyway I am not sure what your question is asking but I wanted to add that basic summary of evolution, so maybe the racists might learn something of use.

I am a "white" or Caucasian person of European ancestry, and I have no problem with the African origins of all presently extant human beings. I enrolled in the National Geographic Society's project in which the participants provide DNA samples via kits supplied by the Society (at a cost of about $100.00); the DNA is analyzed and the participants receive reports (by way of a code which comes with the kit to ensure one's anonymity) delineating their maternal ancestors' points of origins in Africa along with the migratory patterns which their ancient relatives later pursued. (By allowing the submission of one's DNA to the company Family Tree, one will learn as well details as to what genetic group one belongs and what mutations one has undergone compared to a norm) . As the aboriginal people traveled to distant destinations, mutations occurred to their DNA which resulted in the various ethnic traits which are prevalent today. However, if that original African "Eve" was dark-skinned with features somewhat resembling those who are considered to be African currently, then we were ALL originally black!

There is no demonstration of that.
But long time ago in Africa a white gorila was found. Maybe there were white monkeys, nobody knows.

It's like the "Planet of Apes" , Africa is the white person's "Forbidden Zone" where the truth lies but they have chosen to down play it.

my s.s teacher once told us that we are all children of the world. if we could look far enough back in history to see the races of all of our ancestors, we'd probably find them to be different races. so i'd say that yes, you are black and i am white. we may all be white and black and never know it.
