Don't tell the racist southern bigots, but.......

Everyone has African ancestry, so no surprise.

About 18,000 years ago (the time of the Last Glacial Maximum) there were practically no modern humans in Europe. Ice sheets reached the modern-day sites of London, Berlin, and Warsaw. To the south of the ice sheets as far as the Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathians, and Caucasus  was either polar desert  or a terrain known as steppe-tundra (sparse tufts of grass in appearing among lichens and mosses). The Hungarian Plain was practically desert, and the Mediterranean Basin was cold, dry steppe to cold desert.

Europe and the Middle East got populated largely from East Africa as glacial conditions abated... and the people entering from Africa looked much like modern Ethiopians and Somalis.

That means Southerners should begin calling liberals racist whenever they call us ignorant, knuckle-dragging, tea-bagging, redneck cavemen bigots en masse. I've always been perplexed at the PC double standard espoused by many on the left.

The elitist mentality that so many on the liberal side have about the American South is remarkable.  They could learn a thing or two about manners and being dignified had they ever traveled south of the Mason-Dixon. 

I am treated worse by the self-annointed tolerant "LGBT" crowd in California than I am by cultural conservative Americans in the South.

Maybe some diversity training is needed on the left so they don't have so much antipathy and stereotypes towards America

Much of it is about politics -- and we find plenty of people who would rather live in a place where people drive on the left side of the road than live in the 'wrong' part of America, where the political monsters live.

And then there's the interesting fact that blacks seem to be the only ones without Neanderthal ancestry.

Most American Blacks probably do though.

African blacks likely have no Neanderthal ancestry.

On Who Do You Think You Are?, the football star Emmet Smith was surprised to find from a genealogist that having slightly less than 10% Caucasoid ancestry was unusually rare for Americans descended from slaves -- indeed that almost all such Americans had more Caucasoid ancestry.
