Dumb Black People
Even a Nobel Scientist says 
's are less smart. Wow that guy is racist as ----, but I figured HMT would get a kick out of it.

Re: Dumb Black People
He actually has a sound theory and even bases it on research.
...he said there was no reason to think that races which had grown up in separate geographical locations should have evolved identically....
Even though "society" simply acts on his theory as racist, races DO HAVE different physical features. It is rather ignorant to assume that all races have the same level of brain functionality.

Re: Dumb Black People
The species to which you and all other living human beings on this planet belong is Homo sapiens. Anatomically, modern humans can generally be characterized by the lighter build of their skeletons compared to earlier humans. Modern humans also have very large brains, which vary in size from population to population and between males and females, but the average is around 1300 cc. Housing this enlarged brain has involved the reorganization of the skull into what is thought of as the "modern" appearance -- a high vaulted cranium with a flat and near vertical forehead. The supraorbital torus is lost in most modern humans, and ridging above the orbits in general is very reduced. The widest part of the skull is high on the skull, as opposed to earlier Homo erectus and H. ergaster. The back of the skull lacks the transverse torus of H. erectus and the occipital bun of H. neanderthalensis (Compare the crania of H. neanderthalensis and H. sapiens).
The origin of modern Homo sapiens is not yet resolved. Two extreme scenarios have been proposed. According to the first, the distribution of anatomical traits in modern human populations in different regions was inherited from local populations of Homo erectus and intermediate "archaic" forms. This "Multiregional Hypothesis" states that all modern humans evolved in parallel from earlier populations in Africa, Europe and Asia, with some genetic intermixing among these regions. Support for this comes from the similarity of certain minor anatomical structures in modern human populations and preceding populations of Homo erectus in the same regions.
A different model proposes that a small, relatively isolated population of early humans evolved into modern Homo sapiens, and that this population succeeded in ------ing across Africa, Europe, and Asia -- displacing and eventually replacing all other early human populations as they ------. In this scenario the variation among modern populations is a recent phenomenon. Part of the evidence to support this theory comes from molecular biology, especially studies of the diversity and mutation rate of nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA in living human cells.From these studies an approximate time of divergence from the common ancestor of all modern human populations can be calculated. This research has typically yielded dates around 200,000 years ago, too young for the "Multiregional Hypothesis." Molecular methods have also tended to point to an African origin for all modern humans, implying that the ancestral population of all living people migrated from Africa to other parts of the world -- thus the name of this interpretation: the "Out of Africa Hypothesis."
Whichever model (if either) is correct, the oldest fossil evidence for anatomically modern humans is about 130,000 years old in Africa, and there is evidence for modern humans in the Near East sometime before 90,000 years ago.

Because in order to put up with the terrible job of being an archaeological anthropologist you must do acid in the ethiopian mountains listening to the Beatles with your comrades

In any case, regardless of where the current human population came from, the fact is that humans evolved differently because of geographical location. Otherwise we'd all be black.

Re: Dumb Black People
I wish people would stop saying that the "original man" came from Africa. Back then there was no continental devide. Land was one piece of mass so Africa was not Africa. 
I belive that race does have something to do with smarts. Africa is one of the biggest continents, the majority of people there are black yet mostly white people are in rule, they are starving, they dont have control or structure of ant type of Government and genocide is a daily thing.
Mexicans dont have it any better but at leats we dont have Aids infested babys that look like aliens riddles with flies waiting their turn to die. :P :P
