Absolutely it is. Nature is trying to kill us. It’s hippy nonsense.
We extend our lives artificially deep into old age and live with high morbidity in the modern era.
Africans deal with high morbidity throughout their lives due to chronic health problems we learned to fix long ago, e.g. Dysentary, STDs, ect. But, they can’t manage these things without our help.
Oh please! You are so unbelievable with the racism. I’m starting to wonder if you went to a university with exchange students from all over the world. I really do not believe for a moment you’ve ever been around any Black people, much less college educated people from anywhere in Africa. I have, but you really don’t care, because you prefer to be racist.
There are two types of Evolution/Darwinism- one is pure racism and the other is not.
They don’t get health care because of they’ve been experiments (Tuskegee ring a bell as an example?) and have learned not to trust. That and they often receive inferior care due to racism. Between distrust, being treated as lab rats, and inferior care, what do you expect? Anyone would distrust and avoid with such treatment.
Please stop. No one wants to listen to racism.
Those claims are not historical at all, beside the Chinese inventing gunpowder. To start with agriculture first developed in Mesopotamia and so did the first empires.
The concept of zero comes from India.
Blacks did not write the Bible or build ancient large cities.
Aristotle was a European; so if anyone was interpreting his genius later on – what does that tell you?
The Out of Africa theory is more complicated then it used to be. It now looks as though there were quite a few different populations that spread out, and they might have had different skin colors.
Ancient Chinese emperors believed they were divinely chosen and the government was based on that. It was called the mandate of heaven.
Monarchy systems are universal. Europeans were the first to move away from monarchies and inbreeding.
Africans in Africa is what that post is about. But Black Americans also have very high morbidity.
Black people
Pretty brown.
That white people chased him out, lost his writings, and forgot his language
You wear blinders
This is your main problem. You are only looking back 500 years or so.
Evidence please.
Western Roman empire maybe. Not Byzantium.
Evidence that monarchy is a European invention, please.
Please let’s keep some common sense
Aristotle was a Greek man, not an African.
Agriculture was invented in more than place in the world , Africa included
Architecture and Towns were invented in more than one place, in Egypt in very old times and Egypt is in Africa. Now, when at the end of Middle-Age, Europeans visited Mali empire, they were very favorably impressed by the way towns were built and managed, compared the european towns.
And so, and so …
Now, to live in Savanna or in Jungle, you need a high level of organisation and skills. African people have successfully colonized the Congo region with primitive means, and more thoroughly than Europeans.
[Pre-colonial history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - Wikipedia]
No need to give African people less or more that their due.
Can you tell us what special intellectual properties you possess that makes you superior to an average colored person?
p.s. Do you believe this woman is not intellectually qualified to serve on the SCOTUS?

If you look at those in the U.S. the high morbidity isn’t all their fault nor is it all genetic. The system favours white people, just as it has for a very long time. As I said, please stop with the racism.
write4u, let’s not forget to ask thatoneguy if he also thinks Kamala is intellectually unqualified to be a VP. Both women are very intelligent and very successful and on top of it all, very healthy and will probably stay healthier than most people.

Of course. It is the demands and the benefits of the environment that determine the health and adaptive behavior.
If thatyoneguy believes the inner cities do not require extraordinary survival skills he is seriously underestimating the mental acuity it takes to survive childhood and escape that environment.
He seems to forget those white people growing up in that same environment behave exactly the same as blacks. The southern States are a perfect example of producing ignorant behaviors.
Were did you study world government? some of the earliest empires were established in No. Africa thousands of years ago.
In Egypt the pharaohs were not only descendant from nobility but were descendant of gods.
European Royalty came much later.
Yeah, it took Black people to escort me out safely when I was in a women’s shelter in St. Louis City, in walking distance of the arch with two babies or I wasn’t getting out alive, being a “white girl” and all. The Black guys who insisted I didn’t belong there didn’t care my babies were (and are) 1/2 Black. It was because of those Black guys Black women, at the women’s shelter, had to help get me out of the neighbourhood just to get a soda at the corner convenience store and the shelter had to relocate me to another shelter, which was also mostly Black, but they kept me alive in a rough neighbourhood until they got me into another neighbourhood that wasn’t so rough. It’s pretty bad when women, leaving an abuser, have to help another, leaving an abuser, to survive a neighbourhood that’s worse than our relationships. They are far from mentally deficient. Oddly enough, even though I said no cops, concerning the guys threatening me for just walking to the store to get a soda with my babies, they still called the cops. One cop was Black and the other was white. I feared it would only make things worse, but it didn’t. The shelter was safe, but the neighbourhood was not- for my family, at least. The second shelter was better. I was the only “white person” there too, unless you want to include my biracial babies, but the neighbourhood wasn’t as intimidating.
He wouldn’t have lasted 5 minutes in the neighbourhood I was talking about.

These three ancient African powers were all contemporaneous with Greco-Roman Civilization, and all had a powerful impact on our world. Who were they and why have they been forgotten?
Jun 9, 2021 • By Alice Bennett, MSt Late Antique and Byzantine Studies, BA Ancient History
While many history enthusiasts tend to focus on the better-known North African Kingdoms of Egypt and Carthage, these three ancient powers are some of the world’s oldest and deserve much more attention. Here is a brief introduction to three lesser-known ancient African civilizations.

Early African civilisations: Ancient Egypt, Nubia and Swahili

===============================
All it takes is a little curiosity to see that people are people where ever you go. Amazing civilizations unfolded in Africa, Asia, the Steppes, Americas, even across Oceana. The leaders - especially second and third generation, after the visionaries and doers were dead, and hard work of building has been achieved - have a way of descending into rapacious a-holes with zero awareness of, nor compassion for, the concerns of the great masses of people they were governing.
Power corrupts, ultimate power corrupts ultimately, as we have been witnessing, as impotent bystanders. Same as it ever was.
Then there’s that type of citizen who needs to have certitude in their lives, even if that certitude is contrived and clung to with pathetic desperation and tenacious filtering of information. I’d rather have the uncertitude of living within reality with all its wonders and mysteries.
Perhaps what makes me different from most is that I’ve constantly been self-critical, skeptical of my own ideas, always have been, resulting in a life time of introspection and putting myself to the test. It been a heck of ride, with mixed results, though taken as a whole I’ve made a comfortable bed for myself by being honest with myself and learning, … well and also generally caring about others and realizing what I do does impact them, so that’s really what matters.
While others never look at themselves and build lives filled with blaming others for all their woes. Then we wind up with superficial insecure belligerent know-nothings screaming, in order to drown the exchange of information and learning.
And he’d probably bring on his woes himself, by behaving . . . (well, never mind.)
He was saying that I got that wrong. But I didn’t say that Europeans “invented” monarchy. It would be too detailed to compare the empire of Egypt of the Holy Roman Empire, and it wouldn’t really matter. The point is, again, how racists abuse the data. They will say that the European system created stability, then science and universities. But the earlier empires, in Africa and the Levant, somehow those don’t prove anything about black people, or they look at the negative aspects of empire “those” ones.
Human brains are not a result of gradual adaptive evolution via natural selection. “Human” brains are the result of a rare beneficial genetic mutation of chromosome 2.
Human Chromosome 2 is a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes
Alec MacAndrew
All great apes apart from man have 24 pairs of chromosomes. There is therefore a hypothesis that the common ancestor of all great apes had 24 pairs of chromosomes and that the fusion of two of the ancestor’s chromosomes created chromosome 2 in humans. The evidence for this hypothesis is very strong.
Let us re-iterate what we find on human chromosome 2. Its centromere is at the same place as the chimpanzee chromosome 2p as determined by sequence similarity. Even more telling is the fact that on the 2q arm of the human chromosome 2 is the unmistakable remains of the original chromosome centromere of the common ancestor of human and chimp 2q chromosome, at the same position as the chimp 2q centromere (this structure in humans no longer acts as a centromere for chromosome 2.
Conclusion
The evidence that human chromosome 2 is a fusion of two of the common ancestor’s chromosomes is overwhelming.
Black people are just as far removed from our common hominid ancestor as all other human varieties. We all have the same DNA that grows large brains. All other differences are the result of Darwinian adaption to the environment, such as melanin for protection of UV radiation.
Your judgement is based on ignorance of human development. The brains of other great apes are the result of gradual evolution via natural selection.
This is why ALL humans have 23 pr chromosomes and ALL OTHER apes still have 24 pr chromosomes. They are the naturally evolved branch of hominidae.
