The idea that we are divided into different races based on variances in our skin pigmentation is patently absurd.
Yes, it is. We are divided based on our ancestry and genetics, not our color. Michael Jordan and V. J. Singh are the same color but nobody thinks they are the same race.
Anyone see the documentary called the Journey of man? Very interesting using genetic technology using DNA markers from different races in order to track their movement across the earth over long periods of time. According to the markers, a tribe from the southern region of Africa left 50 thousand years ago and moved towards India. In southern India the line broke in two, one group of people ended up in Australia the other ended up in the middle east. From there two branches ended up in Asia. One branch ended up in the Americas, leaving Asia. The last leaving the middle east was Europe. I think there are missing parts to the real story but following the DNA code is fascinating.

A set of 47 human teeth found in China is giving scientists a lot to chew on. The teeth have been dated as at least 80,000 years old -- perhaps even older. The problem with that is that most researchers believe humans only left Africa for the first time around 60,000 years ago. And even then, they were thought to trek to Europe first, not Asia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...human-history/

Check out that documentary, it states europe was the last, according to the DNA markers. I believe there are holes in human travel for sure. If I'm not mistaking, human bones aged around 200,000 years old were found in Europe. Then there's the neanderthal angle. Those particular DNA markers could also be one of many migrations over time.

Fascinating!
