Where did White Humans come from?

Like neanderthals, I really don't think their genetic make up has dissapeared completely because I have a second cousine who looks just like a neanderthal, I ain't kidding either, I could put a bear skin on him and you couldn't tell the difference.

I think the neanderthals just blended their genetics with other tribes and became muddled out.

Yea, Jerry!  I had a classmate in high school the same way.  He was ethnic German, too.  Not to say! the Germans are any different or less-than-human.  Most Europeans are derived from a small population base and that goes for about everyone worldwide.

They did.  Recent research has shown a few genes are present in both Neanderthals and modern humans.

Yes Big M i had actually read that article and 2 others like it before i posted the above.... In your quote of me you left out my qualifier

Such profiling is a guess: Precisely for the reasons you stated, the mixing of the gene pool over millenia.

We ARE all the same genetically: The same species. That if often hard for some to accept, but there it is. Our differences come from CULTURE. That cultural programming is exactly what divides us.

And using those differences to magnify and perpetuate xenophobic fear is one of the favorite tricks of those who attempt to manipulate us.

If those living in the border of Pakistan were "white", would we blithely allow our country ("countries" now that NATO is involved) to bomb them, often killing innocents? Probably not. We are conditioned to fear, and even despise, those people.

Yet their DNA is completely, 100% compatible with ours'.

@jibbguy
Your qualifier was that we're the same inside our heads?  If so, I agree.  What I meant was:  Physically, some genes can point to different race's existence, but that doesn't make anyone better or worse than anyone else.  We're the same mentally, way down deep.

Such profiling is a guess: Precisely for the reasons you stated, the mixing of the gene pool over millenia.

Evolutionary biology attempts to find gravesite and then test viable samples of ancestral tribes to find out how people changed over the centuries and longer.
The ancestor's remains---uncontaminated by modern DNA---isn't profiling if the time frame precludes a lot of interracial mixing from long ago, yes?

We ARE all the same genetically: The same species. That if often hard for some to accept, but there it is.

I read, from a long past source, I forgot where, that a New Age pundit claimed that offworld, interstellar races were 98% compatible in cross-fertilization reproduction with humanity.
That was what was said.
Maybe that belongs on another thread, but my point is:  Racial mixing and  species interrelationships don't really matter if there's one source for everyone's DNA?  People can develop different racial characteristics over time, but humanity is humanity.

As long as all Humans of any type can interbreed then we are all the same, Human. there is not one race of Human that can not interbreed with the whole of all Human races.

a Human by any other name is still a Human.
