I don't get it... why should black people be disappointed by this?

[CDSmith]

I know one in particular on this board that will be.

Either that or he'll throw his usual hissy fit.

[dav3]

because it suggests that our humans originated in europe instead of africa, life previously believed

[Fap]

hmmm, I did not get the impression that this was their conclusion.

"This leads us to a very important, very interesting conclusion," Carbonell said. It is this: that hominins which emerged from Africa and settled in the Caucasus eventually evolved into Homo antecessor, and that the latter populated Europe not 800,000 years ago, but at least 1.3 million years ago.

"This discovery of a 1.3 million-year-old fossil shows the process was accelerated and continuous; that the occupation of Europe happened very early and much faster than we had thought," Carbonell said.

It isn't saying they did not originate from Africa, just earlier than thought.

At least, that is how I interpreted it.

[421Fill]

his along with other archaeological evidence, suggests southern Europe did in fact begin to be colonized from western Asia not long after humans emerged from Africa

I read the article differently.

In all fairness, we don't really know who he was talking to, ergo, not really sure what he meant.

This could take forever. I was just told the other day that Negro was no longer acceptable. Can we get this decision in writing please?

I will add this to the list of items to be discussed very shortly at the emergency town hall brought about by this extraordinary finding with all black people everywhere

On behalf of whitey, we appreciate it.

[GrouchyAdmin]

Blacks can still be the real Jews, though, right?

If negro is an acceptable term today then so is refering to asians as "chinamen" and italians as "WOPs".

Negro is a term referring to people of Black African ancestry. Prior to the shift in the lexicon of American and worldwide classification of race and ethnicity in the late 1960s, the appellation was accepted as a normal neutral formal term both by those of African descent as well as non-African blacks. Now it is often considered an ethnic slur[1][2][3] although the term is still used in some contexts for historical reasons such as in the name of the United Negro College Fund[4].

Would you mind explaining to the rest of the class as to why an outdated racial term such as "negro" is still perfectly acceptable?

Because I have heard people of color tell me it is. Are you a Negro?

I was talking to the original poster. and i meant that they still hold that we originated in africa, europe was just inhabited earlier than thought... not earlier than africa.

you would think that they would have evolved somewhat in the past 1.3 million years

People are such idiots.. 99% of the world needs to go back to elementary school and have the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" beaten into their skulls.. There'd be a hell of a lot less idiocy if people actually grew up...

Obviously we can not include those who convert to Islam to avoid prosecution. I'm not sure, anymore. I think Bill Cosby is the whitest black man who exists, though, next to Wayne Brady.

"Negro" is Spanish for black. You have something against Spanish? Are you a racist?

Please approach random black men on the street, strike up a conversation, and all the while refer to him as a negro.

Report back the results please. there should be no problem since negro is perfectly acceptable in the year 2008.

Too bad they found only a jaw bone

Negroes don't like Spanish speakers? That's so racist!

Then why do they still call it the United NEGRO College Fund if it's so unacceptable?

[mikeyddddd]

I thought this was going to be a duplicate thread about the death of the founder of Popeye's Chicken.

If you look at a great white shark or an aligator today and compare one from 50 million years ago you won't find many differences.

Probably because 70 years ago, when they were named, negro was a universally accepted racial term.

http://www.uncf.org/

Now it seems even they are moving in a direction away from united negro college fund and more towards UNCF.

Today, when negro is used outside of a historic context you raise a few eyebrows. Especially when trying to use it as a racial term in a modern context. Which is exactly why I think it's no longer acceptable to be used as such.

Sorry if it's so unacceptable they'd change the name. They don't. So negro IS acceptable. So is colored. NAACP. The C stands for COLORED. Any black person that doesn't like it can suck my dick. Those terms are more correct thna AFRICAN American. Obama is an African American because his dad was from Kenya. Most blacks in the US would have to go back at least 7-8 generations before finding someone in their family that actually came from Africa.

You mean uneducated people don't believe in evolution.

[Michaelious]

Don't you think evolution and creationism must both exist. I heard the bodies we inhabit are a universal constant but we must evolve from the single cell organism then up through the tree of evolution. But some reckon that the human style body will happen no matter what life-forms we pass through. Therefore it could be argued that both are needed. Like ourselves we create things and we grow. Does Thought create Matter or Matter create Thought.

that hominins which emerged from Africa and settled in the Caucasus eventually evolved into Homo antecessor

The Hominin species are primates, which include chimps.

Homo antecessor are the last common ancestor of Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens.

Thanks for playing.

"The timing of the earliest occupation of Europe by humans that emerged from Africa has been controversial for many years."

The timing is the controversy.... not the fact that humans emerged from Africa... and this is what the article is adressing

The article is poorly written and even though the title states, "Oldest known human fossil found in Europe", the author leaves room for some readers to be confused.

"This leads us to a very important, very interesting conclusion," Carbonell said. It is this: that hominins which emerged from Africa and settled in the Caucasus eventually evolved into Homo antecessor, and that the latter populated Europe not 800,000 years ago, but at least 1.3 million years ago.

Hominins aren't humans. They are pre humans. Hominins also include primates, such as chimps.

Hominins 'emerged' from Africa, settled in Europe.

While in Europe, they later evolved into the earliest species of humans, called Homo antecessor, which made them the first humans. This is where the title of the article comes from.
