Just a thought. Do you think people evolved into homo sapiens at similar times in different parts of the world? That would explain the marked differences between different races...if I believed in evolution of course.

No, that wouldn't make sense in evolution, different species evolving into the same species at different environmental is highly unlikely.
Homo Sapiens evolved 200000 years ago and had since spread out throughout the world.

It doesn't really change things much... It's already known that there's differences between Eurpeans/Asians and Africans. However, even if Asians turned out to have built the pyramids, and that africans are inferior (I'm saying this as a hypothetical case), no one can say anything because it's not really politically correct, and will piss off a billion odd people.

my general understanding of the word "african" when used in a racial context is "bantu".
i don't see anyone currently believing that proto-bantu people built the pyramids, so what would the problem be?

Nope.

We have already watched many creatures undergo similar changes within the last few hundred years. The environment has shaped the various pockets of humanity.

No matter how many times you change your nick, it won't make your posts any more sensible.

"centre or the world" :wtf: Really?

Oh, I get. You saw the movie and thought it must be real, right?

He linked us Planet of the Apes.

That's like using Buddhist figurines to disprove Jesus's morality.

Stupid and doesn't make sense.

The book/movie is pretty good though but just another fairy tale like the other stuff he believes in.
