Have another wee run at answering the bolded queries.
C'mon now, you can do this.

So sorry, your grammar confused me there ...
"I am in Sunny Thailand. I have left that part of the world for the moment"

So are you in Thailand or have you left Thailand?

My special powers is I am not a bland robot who thinks we all came from Africa. Everyone is unique and I choose to like my background.

I am in Thailand.

shake wrote: So what have you based your dismissal of common African origin theory on?
Peer reviewed anthropology studies, gut feeling, Historical records of Stagecoach bus routes and timetables?

Share your findings and sources please in order that we may all emulate your progress.

Well for a start there was one landmass called Pangaea, not Africa.

Well actually there were a few prior super-continents, muchos tectonics wandering about and getting it on with the neighbours, but if you wish let's start with Pangaea

So we are all of the same origin then?
Be we named Africans or Pangaeans? (sp?)

I just hate semantics....don't you?

Yup....we are just another breed of animal called 'human' at the end of the day...the sooner people realise that, prejudices, racism and holier than thou attitudes will mean diddly squat.....there's good and bad in everything. There are 'rogue's' out there in the animal kingdom.
But hey, I'm realistic enough to see that is a pipe dream....whilst there is a human race that believes it is superior to mother earth and everything on and in it...this planet is fucked and in turn so are we as a species.....

Sorry, got one on me today


Jane

This with bells on.

Thank you....must stop listening to opera...makes me chopsy!

Well, I don't want to be 'beamed back by Scotty'....that in my opinion has been the downfall of humanity. The 'book' we have written for our kids is no different to the Bible we have based our society on.....full of contradiction and 'hearsay' and takes away our own freedoms.

It's about time we chucked out the so called principles we live by and say beam me back Merlin, recognise and take responsibility as individuals of who we really are, and realise we are responsible for this planet as a whole and not just what we get out of it....we all, every one of us, stand guilty of greed and self in one way or another.
So, Scotty and handing over responsibility and respect to him V. Merlin and taking responsibility for the self and respecting this planet we walk? I know where I try my damnedest to stand.

No disrespect to you jhado...~I know exactly what you meant by your post...I just used it to have another 'rant'

Regardless of the details, the choices are to believe we all evolved from one migratory source and acknowledge we are all essentially the same (despite outer appearances varying) OR pockets of people evolved in total isolation from each other with no previous connection whatsoever.

I've not seen conclusive evidence of either theory, I have however seen a lot more evidence for one argument than the other!

If you put a two year-old Afro-Caribbean child, a two year-old child from the Asian subcontinent, a two year-old Caucasian child, a two year-old from East Asia, a two year-old Eskimo, and any other two year-old from any ethnic background that you care to name, they will just play together. It's only us sophisticated adults with our precious 'culture' that categorises people based on meaningless distinctions.

+100%

you guys are super gay.

Everyone inherently knows it to be the case, it's just that some people seek to justify their tawdry views by putting forth completely untenable arguments instead of facing up to reality and admitting to themselves that their own views and impression of the world is bollocks.
