While ancient civilizations certainly didn't have the genetic knowledge we possess today, distinctions in human variation were still as important to the Athenians in the 3rd century BC as they are to modern day people.

But you wont find anything like the race talk of our time. Because its a modern invention. Thats why they mixed like there was no tomorrow back in the days.
It was invented then and nowadays we think it means something.

Its funny that most people don't know that the original native americans that lived here before white people would be considered black as well. Black is not limited to just really dark skin. So would argue that the indians were red skinned but still even the quote red man would be considered black to me. Well better yet let me rephrase that i will say they all are origianl people. The orginal people are the black, red, brown, and yellow. The people who are not original are the white european. Its funny how the majority of people think that the people of ancient Kemet(Egypt) weren't black. Especially since everyone from that land even in Arabia which was at that time part of the Kemetic empire. I guess everyone assumes that the borders that we see on a map today exsisted just like that during the rule of Kemites. And Kemet means "black land", which was not only because the actual land was black but because the people who dwelled there were black as well. It wasn't till the Europeans came to Kemet and sought to erase the history of the ancient people of the land. Just like they did to the ancient maya and inca people of south america. I.E. breaking the noses off of statues defacing them, lightening the compexlicions, and drawing pictures of whites on tomb walls. Like Napoleon shooting the nose off of the Sphinx. The white Europeans track record of destroying civilizations and colonizing them is only proof that they were a new people to these civilizations. Were as most of the civilizations had knowledge already of each other. Only the white European was different to the ancient peoples of the world. Kemet actually started in Sudan,Ethiopia,the Umo Valley of Rwanda, and strected as far as Arabia and to parts of what is modern day Israel. But many would have people today to believe that Kemet (which was named Egypt by the Greeks), wasn't even in Africa. The arab people that are living in what is now modern Egypt are not the same people that were there during ancient Kemet. In ancient days black people were not limited to central and southern Africa. They infact inhabited all of the continent as well as parts of Asia.

We can conclude that the nose was gone by 1737 at the latest; thus its removal can not be blamed on Napoleon's troops, who visited more than 50 years later.

Nope. Because they met, mixed and didnt care. They didnt judge or think it meant something. Modern genetics prove it.
The Gene pool of North Africans, Arabs and Southern Europeans is a wild mix of Blacks, Browns and Whites.
Which would be a no go for many today despite the fact that it already happened.

Southern Europeans aren't a wild mix of black, brown and white! That's just some NorthernEuropean/Anglo-Saxon BS racism. Southern Euros on average have like 2% black and 0% East Asian dna based on dna studies. Is that mixed?
In 2008, two international research teams published analyses of large-scale genotyping of large samples of Europeans, utilising using over 300, 000 autosomal SNPs. With the exception of usual isolates such as Basques, Finns and Sardinians, the European population lacked sharp discontinuities (clustering) as previous studies have found (see Seldin et al. 2006 and Bauchett et al. 2007), although there was a discernible south to north gradient.
[...]
In addition, they found that diversity was greatest in southern Europe due a larger effective population size and/or population expansion from southern to northern Europe
In historical times, there has been a well-documented period of North African influence in Southern Europe, especially Iberia and Sicily during the time of the Islamic Golden Age. The genetic effect of this period on modern European populations is the subject of on-going discussion (see below). In more recent history, the peoples of Europe and Africa came into contact during the, the exploration and colonisation of Africa and as a consequence of the Atlantic slave trade.[7] As a result of these recent contacts, lineages of African descent have also been detected in Europe. In general, African admixture is distributed along a South-to-North cline, with peaks in the Mediterranean region and Iberia.
DNAPrint Genomics offers AncestryByDNA a test which measures a person's "biogeographical ancestry" in terms of percent Indo-European, East Asian, Sub-Saharan African and Native American.
A surprising outcome of their testing so far is that about one out of three Caucasians have significant Native American and East Asian ancestry.
Later, in the 1st and 2nd millennia AD, the tide reversed and movements of peoples from the Eurasian steppes invaded Europe. Some of these were initiated from as far east as Mongolia, but the vast majority of men would be drawn from the Caucasoid and Caucasoid-Mongoloid people of Asia. These invasions involved males, who do not pass on their (potentially Mongoloid) mtDNA to their children. Hence, partially Mongoloid males could have been absorbed without much evidence in terms of Y chromosome or mtDNA markers of East Asian origin.

Well, modern genetics says you're wrong.
For Northern Africans, the percentage of Sub-Saharan DNA is under 10%, and a relatively recent admixture.
Like the other guy said, White Europeans are nearly 100% racially homogeneous.

I ask you this question WHISKEY don't you think America was wrong for what they did to blacks during slavery? Dont you think we as blacks are owed not special programs or pacifiying gifts but true reparations? If not why?
Don't you believe that even though the whites that are here living in America, or at least the American goverment should right the wrongs done by your ancestors, to my ancestors?

Silencioso wrote:Southern Europeans aren't racially mixed in the sense that most Latinos and Central Asian people are mixed. South Western Euros (Spaniards, Portuguese, Sicilians, Corsicans...)are all 95% + caucasoid, some like the Basque people are more than that. Balkans Slavs like Slovenians, Croatians etc seem like the same basic racial stock as C. Europeans so I doubt they're any more mixed than Austrians or Bavarian (probably less actually). Caucasus Mtn. people are solidly Caucasoid except for the Azerbajain. Even Turks are 90% caucasoid based on dna studies.
No offense Sentenza but I've seen German and Austrian people that looked as Asian as some of those Kazakh people in that picture you posted. I think Central Europeans are a "wild mix" of yellow, white and red races.LOL

Sentenza wrote:Well there is no such thing as racial purity. As you can see on the map All europeans have also central asian, middle eastern and many have south asian genes and so on. Thats just the way it is. Its a big illusion.

I mean white people have done some seriously vicious things to the original peoples of the earth. I mean wherever they went and conquererd they made either slaves out of the people or they killed them. They lied to the native peoples, and they stole from them too. I know other races have done things too, but never on the same level the white european has done! There has never been a man like the white man on our planet before. THIS IS A FACT!

Is it true that he said something like this? I don't know much about the New Black Panther Party, but I've always had a huge respect towards the Black Panthers (meaning the old movement they had).
And by the way, you all should read what Sentenza have been writing here. He has many very good points.
