white people descended from black people, all the genes for white people exist in black people. you can get whites out of blacks but not blacks out of whites.

Whites didn't descend from blacks, they had a common ancestor. Here's a collection of sources and studies in one book: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzmzYUZFyTg4SVFWS0lqM2V6Q0E/view

The "Out of Africa" theory has been thoroughly disproven. But also, what did that have to do with my comment or the conversation we were having?

regardless, that common ancestor was from africa, black or not.

I've seen that guy's stuff before, I took a brief look, i'll look more into it but he essentially builds up a strawman an outdated "out of africa" hypothesis (this is relating to the recent out of africa theory, not the essentially proven fact that all human dna originates from hominids in africa) and then his argument is that this strawman being inaccurate means black people are inferior.

he quotes wikipedia as a source, and genuienly believes in the solutrean hypothesis which has no basis in reality

he makes gross errors like saying "Europe was occupied by Neanderthals, but about 46,000 ya their numbers began to dwindle and Caucasians appeared in their place." when we know that whiteness is a gene developed 6,000-10,000 years ago, and men excavated before this time in europe were literally black.

regardless, the whole point of this guy's book is "null hypothesis = caucasions are most superior" and he attempts to prove that with any amount of cherry picking and quoting dubious and old sources to make this claim. I think someone's motives are a little fudged if they set out to prove that.

the writer is obviously an ENTP and they are great at finding random sources to "prove" their point, and thats pretty much all this person has done.

yeah, some random fringe guy didnt "disprove" or "prove" anything, at best he has an interesting perspective, at worst he has an agenda.

Not necessarily true either. That common ancestor is likely an ape from the middle east.

not the essentially proven fact that all human dna originates from hominids in africa

Which proven fact is that? Those same hominids are outside of Africa too. Asia and Europe have several million year old hominids that were discovered.

when we know that whiteness is a gene developed 6,000-10,000 years ago, and men excavated before this time in europe were literally black

Do you have a source on that? It sounds a lot like SJW claims.

Not going to argue your opinion of the guy. If you want to go line by line through his evidence, it would be boring, but feasible. Also, you haven't proven that white people came from Africa. You even said that Europeans were previously black, which means that white people came from black Europeans. Regardless, why are you certain that the first hominids evolved in Africa? What genus/species specifically?
