From Ethiopian Australopithicines to ancient human societies
Does the archeological record show us the step-by-step process by which early man in Africa nearly 2 million years ago began the process which lead to the world we live in today? A world with daily essentials such as the use of fire, settled communities and use of farm animals with such bovids as the cow? Can we trace the evolution of a world with amenities such as tamed animals serving as a modes of transportation, such as the horse, and means of entertainment that even the giraffe, elephant, and wild feline provide?
Please use the email at the web-page bottom with your suggestions or advice as your comments are important and it’s easier save them that way. Thank you.
Definition – African: “Putting color aside, (omitting color) Africans are a people with some combination of (usally, not always) wooly to wiry hair, a full nose and mouth, and a head shape typically longer round. Through miscegenation, a people who in some pre-contact generation were African in later generations have features which are blended with White or Mongolian peoples or, in such cases, become muted or vanish all together.”

^ The above is a classic exhibition of pseudoscience making up it's own terms in order to then facilite whatever fantasy is desirable.
African means native to Africa. It is not a collection of physical stereotypes.
Australian Aborigines are native to Australia, every bit as much as Chinese are native to East Asia and Swedes are native to Europe.
Indeed Australian Aborigine have lived in Australia since before there were any Chinese or Swedes.
Chinese, Swedes and Australians are not Africans and making up a phony definition of African isn't going to change that.

1st thing to understand is that homo-sapiens is only 150 thousand years old.
There are various hominids related to homo-sapiens like neanderthal, but they are different species and they died out.
Homo Sapiens evolved 150 thousand year ago in AFrica and lived essentially only in Africa until maybe 70 thousand years ago.
At this point a small group of Africans migrated probably from the Ethiopia into Southern Arabia.
All non Africans are descended from this small group of Africans.

His work is useless thats why!, It's people like him that make people like you look as a joke whenever you open your mouth. No reason to excuse him since he's more your enemy than friend, that is if you take time to think hard of these type and what they are.

Yonis don't start to curse at me otherwise you will catch hell from me. You are not in the position to talk about jokes and uselessness considering your horrid contribution to this site.
Final warning from me, do not address my posts especially in any rude manner or you will be badly burnt.

Or you'll do what? Get banned again, for engaging in personal attacks. Some threat. Go ahead. We could all use a good laugh.

And vice versa, he tries to play the enforcer for Winters and Washington.
But I call this role 'attack-poodle', because it's all bark and no bite. He doesn't help them, that's for sure.

And it doesn't have to be, because Marc has serious photoshop skill, he's simply misapplied it. Too bad, because African scholarship needs more people with his skill, to make facts presentable and digestible to the layperson.

Point taken, but just to note that modern humans are now deemed to have been around 200,000 years or so now. To be specific, at least by 195,000 years ago, as indicated by the Omo cranial specimens.

True. If only Marc could use his skills in diseminating factual material instead of ridiculous psuedo-stuff simply for the esteem of blacks it would be to the benefit of all people especially those of African descent.
