By Nayan Chanda, published 30/7/2009

Massive amounts of genetic research has laid to rest any doubt about our African origin.

yet another science fact...were all africans...well here is the point...there is africans in africa...and according to the article they are 99.8 the same as the rest of the human race...and the closest monkey=98% the same

so here is the evolution of man[having somehow magiclly evolved 2 percent maybe 200,000 years ago]...presumable overnight by one of your scientific natural selections or survival of the fittest..[or whatever the latest buxzz spin[word] is from the ape out of africa theory #...that still is not proven even by this latest buzz piece

but lets recall other science[like continental drift]...africa was once gondwanna land...how scientific is this ...name..'africa'...all this theory is yet not proving anything...and we still got some nutters on abc converting..subverting ..[coverting].. the religious belief of evolution being a science..when its simply belief[cloaked in science]

[wake up ...you believers in evolution...its as much faith based as any other systemised belief...its about getting the believers you retarded reversion/sports..[with their own white clad high priests and saints..[darwin]...sacred texts...extreemists[dorkins]and crazies[take your pick]as any religion

G'Day All,
When are we going to learn that while ever we keep walking down the path of Faith & belief then we are going to always have arguments. A persons Faith is their own & they have the right to that faith.
A thing that my Dad said to me is this "Noone can prove God exists & noone can prove that he doesn't. If we live our life according to his rules & we get to the end of life & there is no God then big deal we have lived a good life. BUT! If we live our life according to his rules & we get to the end of life & there is a God & he is what we say he is then we may have bought a favour or two & a favour or two in the hip pocket from God might be well worth having. Yeah! butter your bread both sides, you only get a greasy hand & you can wash it.
Thanks for your time. Dave.

This piece is not about evolution so much as it is about the left wing academics grasping at scientific straws to try to push their peace and brotherhood of man, illusions.
As I said in my earlier post, Basic Biology and I mean BASIC BIOLOGY, overrides totally any ideas they have of convincing mankind to lay down their weapons and embrace each other as brothers.

250,000 years ago is totally unconnected to the daily biological struggle for genetic immortality that plays out across this planet across all species (man too) every day on this planet. It is a about survival of the living species of today and tomorrow. Nature is a hard task master caring not for the sensibilities of man and his emotional insecurities and the lies he tells himself for comfort. If God dictated the harsh biological rules for survival on this planet then he is a harsh God indeed. It always makes me laugh when people go to God and pray after some huge natural disaster like a sunami.

Why didn’t God protect them BEFORE it happened. After is too late.

Even the great studier of life on this planet David Attenborough didn’t believe in a benign loving God because he saw too many horrors like worms borrowing in to helpless childrens eyes and sending them blind. Too late to pray to God after this has happened to your child. Now go and tell yourselves a few comforting life insurance stories(religion) so you don’t really have to accept the reality of that.

Indeed, but he certainly subscribes to the 'out of Africa' theory of human evolution - as you would know, if you watched the documentary I referred to in my earlier post. It's still available to watch at ABC iView.

Why are you so threatened by the reality that human biological differences are trivial, and that "race" is a social construct?

Good Evening C J ,
C J, It’s not so much if I agree with the 'all of mankind out of Africa' science or not, and I am still basically open to it may well be, or it may prove not to be, on this question. It is that I don’t think that mankind will become less racist (tribal, is the word I prefer) because of this, if that is what people are hoping for.

To answer your question <why are you so threatened by the reality that human biological differences are trivial, and that “race” is a social construct?> I don’t believe that “race” is a social construct, I believe that it is a biological construct and that mankind is driven by biological dictates. That is to say; that his intellect jumps to the tune of his hidden desires which are in reality his basic instincts. Am I threatened by this? You bet! Terrified! It can lead to bloody ethnic cleansing and massacre in a heartbeat.
The trivial biological differences(the 1% or whatever the figure is) that designates racial,ethnic(tribal)difference is obviously powerfully implicated in racism, ethnic cleansing and all wars. In this sense it cannot be viewed as trivial.
What a lovely, temperate,winters evening it is tonight up here in the tropics, Happy August everybody.

<BERG tells his audience we are all blacks>

Berg is showing his bias or agenda by saying this because by his own reasoning we are also all whites,all Chinese,Arabs,Japanese,whatever.
One and the same so to speak,so why does he focus on skin colour?
