Since both models of human evolution out of Africa hold that only African people SPECIFICALLY ORIGINATED from non-human ape-like progenitors, both models are racist.

NotMe: Actually I think that's what he believes. He's implying because the Africans evolved first they are less evolved than other races, whatever that means.
Needless to say, this man has no grasp of the concept of evolution whatsoever.
Dear John, (Yupp, I'm about to break his heart.)
Sorry to burst your bubble but we are all of African ancestry. Try not to cry too much as this information sinks in.
In fact, none of the modern Europeans descends from the Nearthentals. And man, the nearthentals disappeared in nowadays Alicante(Spain), in 100,000 BC. Following your theory, the racism is against Europeans.
This dumb fuck has been reading way too many of those "Truth for Youth" net comics. For those who don't know, they're basically colored Chick Tracts posted on the net.

whites, asians, native americans and all the rest of humanity evolved from apes too, or more specifically, homo sapiens.

i left out a part,damned edit
I think J. Crawford just doesn't want to consider the fact that some of his ancestors may have been black.
The way that he twists "the first of our species were in Africa" to "only Africans descended from apes" is just idiotic.

Just to add to that, the pigment (melanin) wasn't just lost in white people because it wasn't needed any more. While higher levels of melanin (such as in black people) protect people from skin cancer, they also hinder the skin's ability to produce vitamin D in response to exposure to sunlight - so in colder climates, where there was less sunlight, humans would have had to evolve lighter skin to allow this process to work more easily, so we didn't all have vitamin D deficiencies.
Er, no, john.
The models for human evolution hold that ALL modern people, African and otherwise, originated from non-human ape-like progenitors.
Antrhopologists do not claim, despite your desire for them to do so, that Africans descended from apes and white folks descended from gods on high.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
