quote:Mr. Ripley designates these types as Mediterranean, Alpine and Teutonic respectively, his Alpine type being the Celtic of many other writers. He states his opinion regarding the origin of the three race-types that the longheaded brunette Mediterranean is an African type, showing some approach to the negro; that the Teutonic is an offshoot from the Mediterranean, locally developed amid peculiar physiographic surroundings;
An introduction to the sources relating to the Germanic invasions (1909) by Carlton Joseph Huntley Hayes
quote:IN a district bounded by the Elbe and the Oder, north of the mountain ranges,and protected by the vast forest of Southern Germany, Germans had grown into a peculiar race, a gens tantum sui similis. But it is improbable that they were original inhabitants of the land. Their forefathers must have broken, centuries before the time of Tacitus, from that mysterious East which has sent out wave after wave of western conquest ; and must have driven away,or possibly enslaved, the primitive tribes which held the land. No legends, no dim traditions even, seem to have survived from this remote epoch to tell the story of the conquest or keep memorial of an older home. Dahn, indeed, suggests that some vague recollection of conquest may lurk in those legends of a dwarfish folk which fled from men and sought refuge in the crevices of rock and field and moor, in other words,an indigenous race, smaller and darker than the Germans.

funkcity1000 - First, congratulations: you are one of the very few young ones capable of thinking so far off of where the Albinos have taught you to think.
Secondly, there was nothing primitive about those people, it's just that the Albinos have been very hesitant to do research on their own countries - THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WILL FIND - so they rarely look.
The 3,600-year-old Sky Disc of Nebra, was uncovered in 1999 and surfaced in 2002 when German grave robbers tried to sell it on the international market.
The enigma of a priceless Bronze Age disc seems to have been solved by a Hamburg scientist who has identified it as one of the world's first astronomical clocks. The 3,600-year-old Sky Disc of Nebra, which surfaced four years ago when German grave robbers tried to sell it on the international market, shows that Bronze Age man had a sophisticated sense of time.
"We have been dramatically underestimating the prehistoric peoples," said Harald Meller, chief archaeologist of Saxony-Anhalt, where the disc was found.
The bronze disc is about 30cm in diameter, has a blue-green patina and is inlaid with a gold sun, moon and 32 stars. Robbers using metal detectors found it in 1999 alongside a pile of bronze axes and swords in a prehistoric enclosure on top of a hill in deep forest 112 miles (180km) southwest of Berlin.
The Nebra settlement is close to Europe's oldest observatory in Goseck. The site appears to have had deep spiritual significance in the Bronze Age. From the hill it is possible to see the sun set at every equinox behind the Brocken, the highest mountain peak of the Harz range. And there are about 1,000 barrows, burial grounds for warriors and princes, in the nearby forests.
Since police tracked down the thieves in Switzerland in 2002, archaeologists and astronomers have been trying to puzzle out the disc's function. Ralph Hansen, an astronomer in Hamburg, found that the disc was an attempt to co-ordinate the solar and lunar calendars. It was almost certainly a highly accurate timekeeper that told Bronze Age Man when to plant seeds and when to make trades, giving him an almost modern sense of time.
Herr Hansen first tried to explain the thickness of the moon on the disc. "The crescent on the Sky Disc of Nebra seems to be equivalent to a four-day moon," he said.
He consulted the 7th and 6th century B.C. mul-apin collection of Babylonian documents in the British Museum. It appears that the users of the 3,600- year-old clock made similar calculations. The disc was used to determine when a 13th month should be added to the lunar year, which has shorter months than the solar year. Herr Maller said: "Probably only a very small group of people understood the clock."
But the knowledge was somehow lost, and scientists say that the clock would have been used for only about 300 years. Herr Maller said: "In the end, the disc became a cult object."

thanks. And to add to your comment about the original Germans not being "primitive"...yes they were...
you just have to break down the word using the etymology of the word...
"of a thing from which something is derived, not secondary" (a sense now associated with primary), from O.Fr. primitif (fem. primitive), from L. primitivus "first or earliest of its kind," from primitus "at first," from primus "first" (see prime (adj.)). Meaning "of or belonging to the first age" is from 1520s. In Christian sense of "adhering to the qualities of the early Church" it is recorded from 1680s. Of untrained artists from 1942.
quote:primus
Latin for “first” (see prime (adj.))
quote:prime (adj.)
late 14c., from L. primus "first," from pre-Italic *prismos, superl. of Old L. pri "before," from PIE base *per- "beyond," *pro- "before" (see pre-). To prime a pump (c.1840) meant to pour water down the tube, which saturated the sucking mechanism and made it draw up water more readily. Arithmetical sense (prime number) is from 1560s; prime meridian is from 1878. Priming "first coat of paint" is from c.1600. Prime time originally (c.1500) meant "spring time;" broadcasting sense of "peak tuning-in period" is attested from 1964
quote:There is an ancient Negroid strain underlying the populations of Southern and Western France, Italy, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Evidences of the former existence of these negroid people are not only to be found in the features of their mixed descendants at the present day, but the fact is attested by skulls, skeletons, and works of art of more or less great antiquity in France, Italy, etc.,

quote:In Europe, the history of civilization may be said to begin with the Aurignacian or Cro- Magnon race, who appear to have entered our continent about 230C0 B.C. Certain authorities believe them to have had an African origin. The Capsians, who followed them, roughly about 10000 ex., were admittedly of African origin, and their culture was superior to that of their predecessors, in the domestication of the clog and the use of the bow. Like the Aurignacians, the Capsians were artists who left their paintings on the walls of their rock shelters in the central parts of Spain, only these display a much more marked conventional treatment of the subject and were nearly all of a religious or magical character.
quote:Professor Macalister, in a memorable passage in his Handbook of European Archeology, gives it as his opinion that the Aurignacian race originated in Central Africa. All authorities agree that the Capsian and Azilian cultures developed in North-West Africa.
quote: The idea has thus arisen that Western rather than Eastern Africa is the original home of these peoples." That the Iberians of North-West Africa carried their culture in Egypt seems, therefore, much more than probable.

On pp.34-36 Spence clarifies his view that the Iberians are Hamitic (Caucasoids).
All you can do is distort quotes. You find a scholar claiming the Iberians were Caucasoid and then magically distort it to imply they are saying they are black...
Do you not realise people can look these works up and check the page references for themselves? Your lies are easily exposed.

Prof Gruen was born in Austria. He received BAs from Columbia University and Oxford University, and the PhD from Harvard University, in 1964. He also received the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.

Derbyshire does appear to have a direct contribution to the slave trade. It, however, had one notable psychologist who engaged in scientific racism. His name was Herbert Spencer. Scientific racism means the use of science to develop theories and propaganda (such as those of the 20th Century) that draw upon the biology of racial differences.
For example, craniology & phrenology were initially used (now discredited) as evidence that attributes such as intelligence quotient (IQ), were purely biological or genetic.
Spencer’s most notorious contribution to scientific racism was 'the Spencer Hypothesis'.
It stated that black people could not suffer from depression because they were not mentally sufficiently developed to recognize stressors of life.
Herbert Spencer An even greater influence in scientific racism was Sir Francis Galton the founder of the Eugenics movement.
A major influence on the eugenics movement was Herbert Spencer, an English philosopher and prominent political theorist. He is best known as the father of social Darwinism, a school of thought that applied the evolutionist theory of "survival of the fittest"—a phrase coined by Spencer—to human societies.
