I've noticed that a lot of brehs are making assumptions about areas of science that are reasonably - sometimes unreasonably - influenced by the paranoia & trauma induced by the blood on the hands of European power grabbers, colonists & current day racists.
I actually understand. But brehs...
You can't just say to yourself, "I'm not even going to research whether modern accredited scientists/geneticists are doing objective work; I'm just going to assume that their every waking moment is specifically motivated by a plot to completely destroy black people."
Disclaimer - I'm not saying that eugenics and other science theories haven't been created and adopted for the sole purpose of oppression. I KNOW there is a blatant history of that. I'm saying, in this day and age, the accredited research is under heavy scrutiny in a field that contains educated people who aren't "white".
Let's do a test:
The year is 2018, a group of European scientists uncover significantly strong evidence - using the advances in genetics research - that:
- The populations that populated the Middle East & Southern Europe 50,000 years ago were dark skinned;
- That further digging and testing of DNA found in burials in Spain & Hungary found that as recently as 8,000 years ago the hunter-gatherer populations were dark skinned;
- And that evidence suggests there was no trace of fair/pale skin between those two dates in those areas of Europe.
Do we think that they'd hide it? Do we think that it would become discredited and unable to be accepted as the accepted historical placement of what these populations looks like?
Now consider this:
- It is accepted that the original inhabitants of the Americas were here at least as far back as 20,000 years ago.
- It is accepted that because of a Sea Level drop around 30,000 years ago, Alaska & Siberia were connected by a land bridge that is estimated to have been cross-able between 30,000 yrs ago & 11,000 yrs ago until it was submerged again.
So it the land bridge was submerged again & unable to effectively cross into the Americas happened around 11,000 yrs ago & no evidence exists that the fair/pale skin mutation come about until, the latest, 8,000 years ago - It would naturally follow that the evidence clearly points to the inhabitants of the ancient americas were dark skinned.
Do we think that modern science would bury this?
