Albinos from Africa and Asia are not Caucasian, nor are they European. its absurd and racist to call them "white people". its as stupid as calling black people "monkeys".
Discoveries of hominoid remains through western Russia are throwing up some interesting finds. It seems the people through India Pakistan Australia etc may actually carry more DNA from peoples such as Denisovan Man than our African ancestors. And there are rumors of an even more interesting find (Expect a paper on this later in the year)
yes, its possible that homo sapiens didn't come out of Africa, but that homo-erectus or other earlier ancestors actually migrated from Africa much earlier than we thought, and we have multiple evolutions into Homo sapien.
i should have said "homo-erectus or other much earlier ancestors may have migrated from Africa much earlier than we thought, and that the transition to homo sapien did not actually occur in Africa but in western asia. this would mean that homo sapiens migrated into Africa, rather than the other way around"
Well the joker in the pack in Neanderthal Man - He like Homo Sapiens appear not to have been able to it in his pants lol
personally i don't care where homo sapiens actually evolved from neanderthal. its just racist bull(*)(*)(*)(*) to say he looked like any present day human beings. was he black? likely not. white like an irishman? likely not. he likely had tan skin...and LOTS of hair.
Yeah I am not that concerned. Just happy whoever my ancestors where - They were smart enough to last long enough for me to come into the world
Most people have Neanderthal DNA within their Genomes. Homo Sapiens or Modern Humans have been around for a long time and at one time Cro Magnon was thought to be a previous species but it was just an older less evolved state of Homo Sapiens. Human's....in one form or another have been around for over 5 Million Years. The rate of Human Evolutionary Development is amazingly fast and we can see Human Evolution happening RIGHT NOW as more and more children are being born without Wisdom Teeth and many other Evolutionary driven traits are being generated.

Evolution is driven by mutations that are passed on due to natural and unnatural selection. why would this lead to more kids without wisdom teeth? its not like people without wisdom teeth are seen as being more attractive, or they live longer. ...do they?
Human's no longer need their Wisdom Teeth which in the past were used to grind down plant matter and grains which we today use Mechanical Processes. When a part of the body be it an Organ like a person's Appendix which is not used or Tooth or a Limb like our one time Human Tails that is either not used anymore.....it slowly disappears or is used in another way.

from my understanding, that's not how Evolution works. Evolution works by passing on advantageous or aesthetically pleasing traits, and ignoring/avoiding traits that are undesirable for aesthetic purposes or survival. otherwise known as natural SELECTION. Good genes are selected, while not so good genes are not selected, for continuation.
Look into this. The evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles is one of the most well-documented[1] and important evolutionary events, demonstrating both numerous transitional forms as well as an excellent example of exaptation, the re-purposing of existing structures during evolution. In reptiles, the eardrum is connected to the inner ear via a single bone, the columella, while the upper and lower jaws contain several bones not found in mammals. Over the course of the evolution of mammals, one lower and one upper jaw bone (the articular and quadrate) lost their purpose in the jaw joint and were put to new use in the middle ear, connecting to the stapes and forming a chain of three bones (collectively called the ossicles) which amplify sounds and allow more acute hearing. In mammals, these three bones are known as the malleus, incus, and stapes (hammer, anvil, and stirrup respectively) LINK...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_mammalian_auditory_ossicles AboveAlpha
I don't like the term "natural" selection, as some of the selection is arbitrary, like peacocks choosing mates with the prettiest feathers...which of course have nothing to do with survival.
